Kylie Bell,’16, a girls tennis player, has been playing since she was very little and it had always been a sport she is great in. She played this year so she could build relationships with other girls at FC in addition to it being her second year at school.
“Most of the girls have never played before and I think the team can improve by helping each other learn new skills.” Bell said. “The competition has been tough this year but the team has been doing very well. By the end of the year I would like the team to become more skilled than when they started and I encourage the team to grow together as teammates and friends.”
