The HSD3 tennis courts at the high school are officially open to the public!! Here is a message from Coach Dufresne:
Hamilton’s tennis courts are finally finished! The process mirrored that of a long, hard fought three set match: ups, downs, roadblocks, hope, doubt, and in the end perseverance and triumph.
The courts are an absolute marvel.
The team had a soft opening this evening. A chance for the players to be the first to step on the courts, hit some tennis balls, and be grateful for the gift they have been given.
These courts will have a positive impact on hundreds and thousands of students over the years, I can promise you that. Moving them on campus will be a game changer for the program, for the vibe around the game, for spectators, and hopefully - and most importantlyv- will encourage more students to come out.
We know extracurricular activities, including sports, are important to our students and their well-being. They encourage physical activity, provide community and a sense of belonging, and teach a myriad of life lessons. Yet, participation in youth sports is on the decline for a number of reasons.
Tennis is one of our few sports with a no-cut policy. We had 48 students come out last year, from a returning state champion to a group of kids taking a risk by picking up a racquet and going out for a sport they knew nothing about, simply hoping it will bring them joy.
It is that joy that drives me to coach, not wins, not medals, not plaques. Joy. For in the end, coaches have a chance to have a positive impact on the players’ lives; there is no greater win.
The new tennis courts are spectacular. They will be a blessing to this town and its kids: I am certain of it.
A huge thank you to the community and the district for making this happen. I simply can’t wait to see the succession of joy that follows.
We are so proud of the HMS students who achieved High Honor Roll & Honor Roll for the 4th Quarter!! A special congratulations to the 8th grade class who will be moving up to HHS next year! We would also like to recognize Boston Doleac, Simon Naidl and Anthony Steuerwald for finishing middle school with a 4.0 cumulative GPA!
