All other items can be ordered a la carte for players/family members as desired. Items are shipped directly to where you indicate. Please order asap, as this is not a 2-day shipping situation, it will take a little time. “Team Jerseys” must be worn for matches. (sizes seem to run a little big fyi)

You can check out specific information from the FHSAA here:

https://www.fhsaa.org/sports/tennis

Also, here are some important items to do/know about prior to the season:

  • Players MUST have an up-to-date FHSAA Physical form filled out and on file with PK before ANY practice/match participation can occur.
    • These can be turned in at the front office or directly to Ms. Flournoy, the Athletic Director.
    • Forms can be found here or at the PK Main Office. Be sure to complete the PHYSICAL and the CONSENT forms.

Practice Info:

  • Practices for JV and Varsity will be held at the Jonesville Tennis Center (JTC), located in NW Gainesville. As this is quite a ride from PK, it’s suggested players/parents getting together to talk about carpool options. Practice will start at 3:35pm and finish by 5:30pm.
  • PLEASE be prompt with pick-up from practice. Family are welcome to come watch practice or come in a bit before we end to see what’s going on. We will NOT leave a player alone, but we do have families to  attend to of our own so please be on time for pickup. 🙂
  • Players are welcome to wear anything they feel comfortable in—including of course tennis shoes.
  • JTC courts are clay (for anyone wondering).
  • Our expectation is that ALL players support each other’s growth, keep things positive on the court, and encourage effort.
