Tennis information and tryouts for the 2024-2025 Season

Welcome! The Westlake tennis program begins Aug 5th, 2024 @ 8am with a tryout tournament used to form a Freshman team and JV team, then acts as a feed in draw for the Varsity tryout tournament on Aug 7th and 8th. Varsity Tennis athletics class is 7th period and Freshman/JV athletics will be 8th Period. All returning players, except returning varsity players, must compete in the preseason tryouts. 

Athletic Paperwork  

Athletic paperwork is due July 28th for all players ***Must have this completed before being allowed on the courts for tryouts/practice***

Please see our website, https://www.westlakenation.com/info/forms for this information. Prior to tryouts and/or practice, athletes must have all athletic paperwork completed in RankOne, a completed physical dated after May 1st, 2024 then emailed to our trainer Colin Drinkard (cdrinkard@eanesisd.net), and athletes are cleared by our training staff. Players are not allowed to participate in tennis until they are cleared, so it is very important that paperwork is submitted by July 28th to allow our training staff to review all documentation before the tryout tournament.

Tennis Seasons

Fall tennis is the team tennis season with matches beginning mid August and lasting until the end of October (UIL Team Tennis State Tournament). Spring tennis is considered an individual season with typical tournament style play beginning late January through early mid May (UIL State tournament). Tennis is a year-round sport, so all athletes must be in athletics for the entire school year to be eligible to play tennis.
