In Division III, individuals don't win matches, teams win points. "The team concept of playing tennis provides a very supportive family," states Coach Morneau. "Tennis is a very competitive sport and there's a lot of focus on the individual, whether it is single or doubles. As a team, you learn to deal with the heartbreaks and joy with a group, and that makes the experience that much greater. Remember, like life, tennis has its up and downs!"
