When the hot, burning sun is beating down on the earth and the wind is blowing enough to soothe the sweat off your brow, what do you do? Thanks to Miss Christina Laymen, now students can play tennis!
Newly founded at Merit Academy, tennis is a popular sport for students of all grades. Teachers and students get together weekly and learn the rules and then, or course, play the game. As a general statement about tennis, Haeleigh Royall, senior, said “Tennis is awesome! Coach Layman has great advice.” Coach Layman teaches the game of tennis, but Mrs. Jennifer Reber, a mathematics teacher, also enjoys playing tennis with the students. “I use a lot of muscles so I am sore afterwards”, she said with a laugh.
Not only is it for all grades but also for any gender. Watching a man play tennis is no more strange than watching a woman whack the ball back and forth. Mallory Fox, freshman, said, “It’s exhilarating because there is no hiding out there, you can’t pass the ball. It’s a great way to have fun and meet new people. I had a tennis instructor over the summer and he was way cute. Boys who play tennis are sexy!”
Like most sports tennis can be enjoyable aside from the benefits of meeting people, getting in shape, and having hand-eye coordination. Sophomore Diana Pepper wants the reward of having a thrill. “My favorite thing about tennis is when your outside and you’re hitting the ball as hard as you can! Your adrenaline is like AAAH!”
