Dear TSD HS Pickleball Club Members and welcome New Members!
Our 1st Monday, this past week, had 11 HS students come and had much much fun learning the game and competing! Am sure they'll be back and with more of you. All are welcome!
Coming Monday? IMPORTANT. Email me, [email protected] to confirm that you will come. Also, make sure your parents know (day students) and to bring you to TSD at 6:45 pm. For residential students, please communicate with your dorm RE that you are going to HS PB at 6:45 pm Monday. Parents are welcome to stay and watch or even play too!
Bring:
1) PB paddle if you have one (we will provide paddles too)
2) Sneakers (no flip flops, crocs, etc)
3) Clothes for cooler temperatures (mid-50's)
4) Own water bottle/water (we will provide water, yet good habit to bring own water)
We will focus on:
1) Game rules
2) Drills
3) Game play 2 vs 2 (players will be grouped according to skill level to be fair with the opportunity to move up/down based on 2 vs 2 play)
Respect and Good Sportsmanship:
Please bring your best self, good sportsmanship and respect are required. If not, player(s) may be asked to leave, can be suspended from HS PB club.
TeamReach app - TSD HS PB Club
We will be using a phone app, TeamReach (TSD HS PB Club) to communicate with you (students and parents), share the schedule and announcements, photos, and students can click, YES, NO, MAYBE, if he/she will come to Monday PB Club or not, each week.
This free app is designed and used for team communication between coach/sponsor (Nick Bannon/Yana Novikova) to students/players to coach, parents, too, etc. This will encourage student self-responsibility, especially regarding if he/she plans to come to Monday PB, each week. (I will still email players and parents each week).
This app, although encouraged, is optional. The app will be monitored closely for any misuse and any misuse will result in being removed from TeamReach (TSD HS PB Club)
Instructions to get the app using your phone or iPad:
1) go to "App Store"
2) search 'TeamReach' click 'get' to download on phone or iPad (free)
3) Open TeamReach app
4) Enter Group Code: TSDHSPB25
Let me know if you have any questions. Looking forward to having you all this Monday at 6:45 pm. Please let me know, by email or by TeamReach app, if you are coming or not so we know how many to expect.
Coach/Sponsor Nick Bannon and Yana Novikova
