Do you know that there is a tennis etiquette to follow in order to switch team? Etiquette to switch teams within AAC Teams: • Communicate with Carmen Garcia-Jersild via e-mail at cmg@aac1.org to let her know you are planning to move teams and discuss options. • Please let your current captain know that you will be leaving the team. Thank them for their hard work and for having you be part of their team. You will only be allowed to leave a team if that team is not in jeopardy of folding. • We will try our best to find you a team at the appropriate level. • The main reason to communicate to your current captains is for them to make sure her team is whole with enough players to be competitive in their division for the next season.
