My Myla just finished her freshman year of high school tennis. She has been playing tennis since she was seven, and devoting a lot of time to her training since she was nine. But, this was her first time to be on a tennis team and she absolutely loved it. The season went by way too fast. I went with her one weekend in September when the team had a tournament in St. George, Utah. I stayed in a rented house with all twenty girls and I don’t remember ever laughing so hard. These girls are sweethearts. They are clever. Smart. Hilarious. And, they are killer tennis players. I feel so fortunate that Myla has so many good friends to go through high school with.
At the end of the season, about three weeks ago, the team had a banquet and I created a video of memories for the girls:
During the banquet, the coach gave out some very notable awards. Myla was highly recognized for her character, hard work, friendliness, team spirit – you name it, I can’t even remember everything it mentioned, but I thoroughly believe she deserved it. She worked so hard, and is so fiercely genuine. My moosey is golden. And, she finished the season in J.V. first singles.
I can’t wait till next year!

Is tennis a big thing in Utah? I think my high school’s team had about 8 kids max, and that was a mix of boys & girls. It’s nice to see so many kids out for her team!
Also, very brave of you to supervise TWENTY teenage girls! Bravo!
hey Natasha. yes, tennis is a big sport here – honestly, I thought it was everywhere! ha! Unless of course there’s no access to courts (like, where my husband was raised.) thank you. xo.
Go Myla! Tennis is my favorite sport to watch and to play. Love the video!
