Try outs for tennis were the first day of school. Emersyn made the varsity team which included seven girls. The coaches put them in a “ranking” ladder. To move up the ladder, they must challenge the girl ahead of them. Emersyn was ranked #6. The top five girls will go to APAC, Asia Pacific Activity Conference, in Japan.

Photos of our tennis player before leaving the house. She looks so cute in her Concordia tennis uniform.

Emersyn had her first tennis match at Concordia against SAS Puxi. The boys played on the courts at Concordia. The girls played on the courts at Green Villas. The courts at Green Villas are grass turf with sand. Emersyn was playing doubles with Angelina. They lost, but they were able to get some good court experience. The SAS Puxi girls all have good serves. Serves are the one thing the Concordia girls need to work on.

A few action shots of Emersyn.

It was a fun afternoon watching tennis. After the girls finished at Green Villas, we went back to Concordia to watch the boys compete. Emersyn played another round of doubles with Nicole. It was more of a practice match as the SAS Puxi’s bus wasn’t arriving until 2:30pm. Nicole and Emersyn only played to 6 games when it was time for SAS to leave.

After the matches, the team went to Coach Nelsen’s house for a team party. I sent cupcakes with Emersyn which she reported was a big hit.
