River Valley Tennis
River Valley Tennis Awards Banquet



by Coach Brandon Andrews
Banquet was held on Thursday, October 23rd. With 27 players, this is the largest team we have had in the 10+ years that I have been coaching with River Valley Tennis. It was a tough season overall but it was not unexpected. We knew we had a huge team full of girls that are willing to work and improve every day but there is simply one thing we cannot teach—experience. Experience is what a lot of the other teams in our section have and it is our biggest weakness right now. Even though the wins weren’t there this year, I am very happy with the growth the team had and I still found it to be a successful season for us.
First Award to recognize is the Minnesota State Tennis Coaches Association Silver Academic Award. This is an award for teams that have a cumulative GPA between 3.5-3.74.
