Team Overview
Suffield Varsity Tennis team competes within a four singles and three doubles non-repeating format, so our team involves fourteen to fifteen players throughout the season.
A typical practice involves a court or two for instruction while other courts host teammates playing game scenarios. In general, there is an emphasis on using the game itself to teach and motivate all players. Players are also encouraged to invest time into their games and find court time during the weekends to enjoy a few sets of tennis with their friends.
