| Project Title: | Women's Tennis |
| Project Description: |
Dealing With the current Covide 19 situation and the start of the new semester, at the Rock, there has been quite a few challenges. As you might be aware, most of our classes at this point are all online. Half of the Women’s tennis team is back in the slippery Rock area and the other half is located though out the world. We have 1 Senior who is at home in Ohio, 2 incoming transfers at home in Spain, and an incoming freshman home in the United Kingdom. The first goal for the team is to make sure everyone is thriving in the classroom. To make sure this is happening we have weekly individual and team Zoom meetings to go over any concerns someone might have. It’s also a great way and at this point the only way, we have to communicate as a whole team. The meetings have been very upbeat so far. Last Semester in a similar situation, the team had a semester QPA of 3.944 and we are expecting to maintain that goal of academic excellence this semester too. The next goal is to make sure the whole team is maintaining and elevating their fitness, so we will be ready when we are able to hit the tennis court again. For the ladies that are located in Slippery Rock, I am allowed 8 hours of voluntary activities a week. Our workouts consist of hitting and tennis drills, to weights and conditioning. As for the others not able to be at the ROCK, they too are doing the same workouts and hitting on their own. Yet another goal and one of the most important ones is that we are making sure everyone on the team our community and the ROCk Tennis Nation, is staying safe and healthy during the pandemic. We are doing our part by social distancing, wearing mask and routine temperature checks daily. All student athletes and athletic staff members must do a daily COVID screening and a temperature check before we are allowed to enter or step onto any athletic facility on campus. More to come later please let me know if this is what you are looking for. Matt Meredith Tennis Coach |
