Well I mean at my school, the girls' tennis team didn't do a lot of strength conditioning. We did a heck of a lot of interval running and whatnot, but we never used any fitness equipment or anything like that. And my volleyball friend would come in some days and complain about how sore her arms were from the weight room or what. So my impression was that she had more varied workouts on the volleyball team.

That sounds a lot more like weight training. What I'm talking about is doing a ton of strengthening exercises like mountain climbers, jump ropes, or doing ladders.

Yeah, we didn't do those either. Apparently the guys' tennis team did that a lot, but all we ever did were sprints and running exercises.

Why would they do that with the guys and not the girls?

I think it's a combination of things. For one, the average level of the guys' team is higher than the girls' team (a.k.a. there are guys on the JV team who could easily beat girls on the varsity team), but compared to other schools in our conference, they're actually competitively not as good. On the flip side, the girls' team is generally weaker than the guys' team, but we somehow do better than the guys in our conference.
So I guess we're the strongest of the weakest emotion_awesome

Both teams could still benefits from conditioning though.

I know, every season we're not sure why we get off so easy. I was just trying to provide a line of thinking that my coach might have used.

Do you have the same coach for both genders?

Just wondering because our coaches change from time to time.

Our assistant coaches change all the time, it's kind of crazy how many teachers in our school play tennis, but our two head coaches have always stayed the same.

We kind of have assistant coaches. There's a coach for each team like varisty, jv, and c-squad. Like yours ours tend to change too.

Yeah, they probably change a lot since assistant coaches aren't paid positions (in my school at least), so for some the time commitment doesn't become worth it.

Weird, mine are paid. Do you guys have managers for your sports teams?

No, the manager position's kind of a joke here, and I think it extends to all sports teams at my school. The captains usually take on what would be a "manager's" responsibilities. The last time I even heard of someone being *just* a manager for a sports team was a tennis player who graduated before I got into high school. She had injured herself early in the season, enough that the rest of her season was shot, but she didn't want to completely remove herself from the scene. So that was a completely respectable and admirable reason to become a manager. But other than that, yeah.
What about you?
