2026 Castle View Boys Tennis

The 2026 Boys Tennis season is quickly approaching, with our first day on Monday, August 10th. Registration is now open. Please ensure your player’s Physical is valid for the entire season. Visit the Sabercat Registration page at https://www.sabercatsports.org/ to access the correct Physical form and full Registration instructions, including guidance for players attending alternative schools, such as Colorado Early College.

Varsity Tryouts 

Varsity Tryouts are almost over and should end Monday, August 24th, unless I see an adjustment needed to make the team stronger.

Practice times for non-match days:

JV - 3:45 to 5:00 pm. Be at the courts by 3:30 to get ready to be on the court to hit balls by 3:45.

Varsity - 3:15 to 5:00 pm. Be at the courts by 3:00 to get ready to be on the court to hit balls by 3:15.

Unfortunately, MaxPreps did not enable JV match tracking. I am pushing to get that started with Girls 2027 season. 

Click the links below to view the Varsity match results. These pages are updated the same day a match or tournament ends, or the following day at the latest. The second link will take you to MaxPreps, where you can also find our full schedule, match results, and current season standings.

Please stop by the shed on Tuesday if you need to exchange or have not picked up your sweat tops and bottoms.

The tennis program uses two primary communication channels: weekly emails and GroupMe.

Weekly Emails 

A detailed weekly email is sent each Saturday or Sunday evening to recap the previous week and highlight all upcoming events. These emails include important information about practices, matches, logistics, and any required actions.

Week of 8/3 Preseason email

Week of 8/10 Email

Week of 8/17 email

Week of 8/24 email

Week of 8/31 email

Week of 9/7 email

Week of 9/14 email

Week of 9/21 email

Week of 9/28 email

Week of 10/5 email

Week of 10/12 email

A shortened version—with a link to the full weekly email—is also sent out on Saturday or Sunday night for quick reference.

GroupMe 

GroupMe is used for time‑sensitive updates, especially those related to weather, which can impact practice or match schedules. All players and parents should be in the GroupMe to ensure they receive these rapid updates.

How to Contact Me 

If you need to reach me, please email me @ sshenton@dcsdk12.org.

Last year, we launched two Instagram pages to highlight the journey of our Boys Tennis Team—one for JV and one for Varsity. This year we consolidated the two Instagram pages into one for better visibility og the team as a whole. Follow along and help spread the word to friends and family. Throughout the season, we’ll be sharing highlights, memorable moments, and team updates to celebrate our players and all their hard work.

A huge thank‑you to Sarah F. for her outstanding work in managing and creating content for these pages.

The season schedule will be managed via calendar appointments, which will be sent out once the Varsity roster is finalized. These appointments will be sent to the email you used to register your son. 

All calendar invites have been sent out to the email used to register. If you do not see the appointments, check Spam and junk folders. If they still aren't there, please send me another email address to use for invites.

If any event needs to be updated—such as a match date or time—the change will be made directly in the calendar appointment, and the updated information will automatically sync to your calendar. Feel free to forward the event. Any updates I make may not be reflected in the forwarded invite.

Since we are no longer managing our schedule through spreadsheets, we still need to coordinate Drinks and Snacks for our events. I am looking for one or two parents from both Varsity and JV to help oversee this and ensure that each event—including multiday Varsity‑only events—has Drinks and Snacks covered. Both JV and Varsity have tournaments at multiple sites that will require coverage as well.

Please see this link to signup for drinks and snacks for the respective team and events:

I ask that phone usage be kept to a minimum during practices and matches, limited to contacting parents or teachers and handling essential communication. Phones should not be used for browsing social media while teammates are still competing. Players who have finished their match are expected to support those still on court.

Once all players are finished, the team may use their phones as they wish.

Thank you for your help in reinforcing this expectation. It makes a meaningful difference in maintaining a supportive team environment.
