DID YOU KNOW??

Part of playing competitive league tennis is being able to travel to different places with your team. I’m not talking about going to other clubs for the basic league match, but being able to travel out of your city for these high-level tournaments.

There is one thing about going out of town with various members of your team. You learn A LOT of things that you probably never knew. Some things you may find interesting. Other things, you may think to yourself “what the hell?”

Did you know…

When out of town and away from you husbands, some players actually do miss being with their husbands? This little fact really took me by surprise.

Did you know…

The left lane on the highway is only for those that are passing other cars? These left lane travellers need to be going at speeds above 80. Do not hang out in this lane if you are not going at the unposted speed.

Did you know…

These brand new vehicles have so many buttons on the dashboard that not even the driver is quite sure what they are all for? The person in the passenger seat can get very excited when the vibration button is activated and they do not know it. WOOOO HOOOOO

Did you know…

After a very intense tennis match, a Diet Coke can taste ‘spicey”? That some players rely on Sparkling Ice with Energy to get through the match?

Did you know…

That after a hard rain and players are trying to dry the courts, it is best to squeegie in circles as opposed to back and forth? Did you know you can get really dizzy going in circles trying to dry the courts?

When out of town, it’s always a big team decision on were to go for dinner.

Did you know….

You should always wait for the ranch dip to come before popping that fried mushroom into your mouth? The top of your mouth will thank you for just waiting a couple minutes after it is dropped off at your table.

Many teams prefer renting a VRBO instead of going to hotel rooms at these tournaments as well. It creates camaraderie, fun and sisterhoods. It always displays the best pajamas, too.

Since most VRBO’s have mostly streaming services, it’s hard to find local channels. Therefore it’s hard to find those college football games.

Did you know…

There is such a thing as screen sharing from your cell phone so you can watch those local channels? Or just look at the photos that are on that one person’s phone!

These are all fun facts. The one fun fact I found out

Did you know…

Not everybody loves Christmas movies all year long. Gosh.

But, on the other hand, the one not holding the tennis racket…

Did you know…

After spending 2 to 3 days with any members of a team, it’s always going to be a memory that will make you smile and giggle when nobody else is looking. And, in your head, you are already planning the next trip.

Let’s take it to the net, ladies.
