Hayden's in Love-Love with tennis

This year Hayden decided to try a new sport.  She went out for the 7th grade girls' tennis team at Lesher.  Nervous at first about not really having much experience on the court, she ended up having a lot of fun and learning a lot about the game at the same time.  She played #2 doubles with an 8th grader, Angelina.  The JV team finished the season with 5 match wins, and only 1 loss.  Hayden and her partner won five matches and lost one as well. 

 

Hayden's coaches always pointed out to us her positive attitude on the court and her good sportsmanship. Because of this, at one match, she was chosen to fill in for a varsity player on a doubles team.  She rose to the challenge and they won their match- and had a good time doing it :)

Being left-handed, it took her awhile to get her serve down.  But by the middle of the season, her serves were consistently going in. 

 

 

 

We were surprised at how easy going Hayden was the whole season.  Normally, she is pretty competitive when it comes to sports and academics.  But as she put it, she was just there to have fun and for the love of the game.  Way to go, H.!
