Mariel Ramirez, 5’7” DS/L from Red Oak, class of 2027. Great platform, awesome footwork, great decisions! This athlete is always where she needs to be and has great anticipation of where the ball is headed. 🔥🔥🔥

@iowahstennis My older daughter was a 4 sport athlete until graduating. My younger daughter was a 3 sport athlete until tennis moved to fall…she will pick something else up in spring now, unfortunately not tennis.

[Dana Ramirez @danajolene74]

@iowahstennis I think it has to do with softball and baseball, then giving families time. With bball and vball camps in full swing in summer, it’s hard to work around everything to fit in a vacation. It’s really nice to have that time to not worry about missing if a multiport athlete.

[Dana Ramirez @danajolene74]

@iowahstennis Yes, but it is necessary for students to get a break and take some family time to regroup from the previous year. I say that as a mom and a coach…a break is needed.

@iowahstennis @The_Professor5 I am a high school volleyball coach, so not that’s not why. I encouraged all the girls to try and dual sport. It’s just hard in general, and we lost a lot of players this fall for our tennis program.

[Dana Ramirez @danajolene74]

@The_Professor5 @iowahstennis Also, she was a sophomore playing the #1 spot last spring competitively. 😞

[Dana Ramirez @danajolene74]

@The_Professor5 @iowahstennis My daughter had to give it up with a full volleyball schedule. 1A tennis is on its way to extinction.

@iowahstennis Single classes after 1A programs dry up in small schools.

[Dana Ramirez @danajolene74]

@ErickZehr @iowahstennis Volleyball in our program runs 6 days a week, and not sure if it’s the primary sport how tennis will even fit into the fall for those athletes. Too bad for 1A in smaller schools vs rhe 1A with elite single sport athletes.

[Dana Ramirez @danajolene74]

@iowahstennis Everyone has their own opinion. Mine is that SWI tennis would be gone.

[Dana Ramirez @danajolene74]

@iowahstennis Making a choice for single sport athletes, that isn’t feasible. My daughter was a four sport athlete and finished at the top of the state, while pursuing volleyball career in college. And another daughter that plays three sports and volleyball as her primary.

[Dana Ramirez @danajolene74]

@iowahstennis 1A tennis will be gone.
