Should Tennis be offered in Junior High?

Link: Detailed letter outlining need


  Some things to consider...


-  Arlington schools rarely make it past first round of Regional Touraments

Schools in North Texas with Jr. high Program:   Allen, Birdville, Carrol, Cedar HIll, Coppell, Crowley, Denton, Desoto, Duncanville, Eagle Mountain, Grapevine-Colleyville, Keller, Mansfield, McKinney, Mesquite, Midlothian, Northwest, Plano, Red Oak, Richardson, Aledo, Burleson, Cleburne, Corsicana, Ennis, Forney, Highland Park, Kaufman, Rockwall.

- Cost of program will be much less in comparison to other Jr. High sports

- Jr. High Tennis program would meet Title 9 requirements

- Greater college scholarship potential for Arlington players

- Increased standing among schools in the state of Texas (Star Award)

- Gives students more options to "belong" during the critical years of Jr. High

- Levels the playing field for Arlington schools when competing at Regional level

- Tennis players generally have the hightest GPA of all student-athletes due to the individual accountability fostered by tennis
