Grace Academy Sports

Grace Academy sports have been going great this year. The varsity team in basketball has been doing great!! The Soccer team that went for NACA won the tournament! One thing that has not been doing well is the tennis team. The girls had a tennis team almost every year. The guys on the other hand, pretty much never had a tennis team. About 5 to 6 people sign up for the team every year. That is not enough to run a tennis team. We have many great tennis players but none of them play. If we got every single tennis player to play we would have a chance to win the State Championships! Hopefully this year we can have a tennis team
. You can be of any level and remember to have fun!
