Welcome to NETS - Launched Spring 2018

A new tennis season, and a new organization

March 28, 2018 - third day of practice
Spring has sprung - or at least it's trying to. The Superior High School Boys Tennis Team started practice in late March while snow still covered some courts, and the wind chill was below freezing. The team moved indoors at the University of Wisconsin for a couple of practices - but the limited availability of indoor court time forced the team outdoors under less than ideal conditions.

There are 24 players on the boys team in 2018. About half of those players are freshmen, which is a good thing. However, almost all of those players have never played tennis before, and they all have a great deal to learn. Some of them will be competing in matches very quickly due to numbers and the limited availability of some of the more experienced players.

This is why NETS was born. We want to create tennis opportunities for Superior youths so that they can have several years of tennis experience under their belts when they join the high school teams. All of the teams we play against in northern Wisconsin and Minnesota have players with many more years of tennis experience. We love the fact that these young Spartans choose tennis as one of their sports at the high school. We just want to help put them in the best position to succeed during their high school tennis careers - and that means starting them out prior to the 9th grade.

If you know any Superior youths who have expressed an interest in playing tennis, make sure they know about NETS and we'll help provide them with the learning opportunities that they need to become successful high school tennis players.  We'll also continue to provide playing opportunities after high school. Everyone says that tennis a LIFELONG SPORT! However, that will only be true if you have the opportunities to play throughout your life. We can help with that.  Cheers, Barry
