All Endings are Merely Beginnings.
Well unfortunately the boys tennis team was unable to persuade the school to give them one more year to finish their college tennis career. No real surprise but I was so proud of their valiant effort and mature, dignified response to the situation. The team demanded a meeting with the athletic director and were granted […]
Another Tennis Program Falls: no concern for student athletes
It is such a sad day in the Crazy Tennis Mom’s home. If you have been following my blog you know I have a son playing D1 tennis. Well yesterday we received a call from him informing us that the tennis program was cancelled. Yes another D1 tennis program falls to the mighty dollar. The […]
Fighting Crazy
Crazy tennis mom has been quiet for some time. Starting a new career can certainly silence a voice but add to that the new-found passion for tennis with one of your kids and …BINGO all creative energy and time has been sucked out of your life. Such a shame too because the stories I could […]
Keeping Quiet: Always a mothers challenge!

Striking the Perfect Balance
The college tennis season is in full swing, and with that a whole new reality. Ready or not here it comes! Off season practice and work-out schedule seemed rather daunting to me but it is nothing compared to the tennis season schedule. These young men and women who take on the challenge of playing college […]
Dream On!
All eyes are glued to the television. The days, and unfortunately the nights, are spent watching the first big tournament of the year. The Australian Open is always the favorite in our household, it marks the beginning of the season and warms the cold January evenings with the hopes for the upcoming tennis season. My […]
Coolest Courts
We may not be in Melbourne, Australia playing tennis and perhaps we have not been able to play at Wimbledon or Roland Garros but we have seen our share of interesting tennis courts. Some we love and some we hate, some are fast, some are slow, some are lucky and some are cursed. Each tennis […]
