Two-three days a week I pass the tennis courts at the Shaler High School. It kills me to watch others play on days that I know I'm too busy to pick up the racket and get a game in. Normally and unfortunately, the courts are vacant since not enough people play tennis.
This summer, Shaler FINALLY got new tennis courts and I have been watching the entire process progress on my commutes. It's about time! And I must say, I have been aching to go and try the new courts now that the nets are up.
It's not often that a person gets to play on brand new courts. Remember, tennis if often the sport that gets the last straw when budgets are tight or is overlooked because it is not as popular as baseball or soccer. It's a great sport though that more people should try.
During my tennis career, I played on the terrible courts at Shaler, got some nicer ones at Mount Union but they didn't have the budget to get us nice uniforms and then had to play on the incredibly crappy North Park courts at La Roche because we didn't even have tennis courts there!!
Now, I'm waiting patiently (OK, not really) to hit the courts. This is like a once in a life time opportunity. New tennis courts!! Let me just say this is absolutely freaking awesome!! OK, so I'm a little more excited than a normal person but hey its fabulous for a tennis player.
