Welcome Midd Tennis fans to the start of the spring 2015
dual match season! The panthers have been on the grind, logging morning
conditioning sessions and focused practices all in anticipation of this
Saturday’s season kickoff when we play host to 31st ranked Stevens
and 34th ranked Brandeis at 10:00 AM and 3:30 PM respectively.

| New training complex for our workouts |
We’ve gained lots of momentum from the hours put in and it’s
needless to say our guys feel like caged panthers ready for competition after
being holed up in Nelson arena and the weight room all winter awaiting the
start of the season. The previous 4 weekends we played Blue-White inter-squad
dual matches to keep giving us match experience and to help us determine where
everyone stood when it came time to form our lineup. Both coaches are extremely
proud of the effort and maturity with which we approached these matches as
competing against your teammates and friends can be difficult.
A major part of our training this winter has been our use of
the new indoor multi-sport training complex, which was finished just in time
for the start of our morning workouts.

| Shoveling snow off Proctor |
We used the facility’s state of the art
indoor track, stadium stairs, and synthetic-turf to sprint, jump, and work our
way to becoming the fittest team in the NESCAC; we met every Tuesday and
Thursday mornings at 7:45 to build our physical skills.
The first warm weather is starting to show which means
outdoor tennis is just around the corner once the ice and snow is off the
Proctor courts.
Stay tuned for a recap of our double header this weekend and
more information on our upcoming spring break trip to Los Angeles where we will
be playing 8 matches in 7 days!
