Practice Update 03/20
Hello TAC,

For tomorrow, only two courts will be available for practice, which will not be enough to have practice for all our members. Instead of cancelling practice, we have decided to cut practice time to 1 hour for all divisions. For D1 and D2, please show up at 7pm to 8pm, and for D3 and D4, please show up at 8pm to 9pm. There is a small chance that a third court will be available, if the reservation is not used, but we are not counting on that. For D1 and D2 members, you are welcome to continue hitting/practice after 8pm IF we have extra courts, or you can join the other divisions for practice. The same applies for D3 and D4; you may show up at 7pm if you are comfortable playing with the other divisions.

See you at practice!

No practice tonight
Hello TAC,

Getting reservations at the Hearst courts has been more difficult than we thought since other groups/instructors reserve them on Thursday as well. There will NOT be practice tonight from 7 to 9pm. Hopefully something can be figured out soon for our Thursday practice. Sorry for all the changes. To make up for this, we will have practice tomorrow (Friday) from 5 to 7pm at Hearst, just for this week. Saturday practice will occur like usual.

See you on Friday!
