Spring Means Tennis

Spring sports officially begins this week with tennis matches starting off first and then most all sports in action on Friday, March 20 and thereafter throughout the spring months.
Spring is a busy time in sports with boys tennis, boys and girls track & field, baseball, softball and boys and girls lacrosse.
They play several times per week and also have practice sessions to keep them busy. Practice started Monday, March 2, although that was the day of the 8-inch snowstorm that hit the area. However, by the end of the week the snow was gone and teams have been practicing regularly to prepare for their seasons ever since that early delay.
Rainy weather and wet grounds often hampers spring sports, but athletic directors and coaches do their best to keep youngsters active. Postponements especially hurt teams with younger players who do not have as much experience and need the time on the fields, courts and tracks in order to improve their skills.
