Greetings Parents!

I am Ben Sutton, the new coach of the Salem Jr High Boys Tennis team! If your boy is interested in playing on the team, please fill out the Boys Tennis Interest Survey.

By way of introduction…

• I live in Salem with my wife and 4 children at home
• I am not a full time teacher, I work in Provo
• I enjoy tennis, but have never played competitively

I’ve decided to coach tennis out of an interest in helping boys develop interest in, and improve their skills with, the sport. I’ll provide a structured environment that encourages them to realize that their efforts are what determines their success. Should be a great time!

Some preliminary information that may help…

• Boys of all skill levels are encouraged to participate.
• Matches will be held Tuesdays and Thursdays at 3:30, starting on March 24th.
• Practices will be held Mondays and Wednesdays after school, starting 2-3 weeks before the first match.
• At this level of play, I will not be super strict about attendance, but expect to use the “reasonable parent” standard…If your boy will not be attending practice or matches, I expect communication about it ahead of time.
• I am not expecting to have “try outs” unless interest is excessive.

The Survey will help me get organized and best serve you and your boy. If you’re interested, please fill it out!

We are excited to invite parents and children to our ninth annual Brain Fair on Saturday, April 11th, from 10:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. in the Liberal Arts (LA) building hallway at Utah Valley University.

This event offers children of all ages the chance to explore the brain, neurons, and the senses through hands-on activity stations created by UVU undergraduate students under psychology faculty mentorship. It’s a wonderful opportunity for families to engage together in science learning and spark curiosity about the human brain.

Please see the attached flyer for additional details.
