Agua Fria Tennis Pre-Season

Zoe Perez, Editor-In-Chief • January 26, 2025

Here in Agua Fria Tennis is approaching along with other Spring sports, pre-season has started and there is so much to talk about!

Tennis just gained their new coach, Ms. Doran, although this tennis season is different from last year’s, we are very excited about the progress this will bring! Pre-season until February is Tuesdays and Thursdays after school at the tennis courts, after some hitting exercises and tennis games like “Around the World” and “King of the Court”, you will have to complete a workout in the weight room effective for tennis!

But don’t forget to get cleared before showing up to the courts! To avoid injury problems and agreements involving teammates and the school, you do have to have a physical and sign different forms, as well as complete two different courses involving concussions and opioid abuse. After completing these forms you will have to make an account on finalforms.com and upload the documents for your physical and the certificate the courses will give you at the end of it.

Tennis pre-season is a chance to get experience whether or not you end up deciding you want to be on the team, it is a sport a lot of people end up doing for the rest of their lives!

Tryouts start in February and it will be decided who is on the team soon after that, if you have any questions you can always contact Ms. Doran (Agua Fria High School) and can join the SportsYou app and join the conversation! We hope to gain some new members to our team and recognize new faces as the year progresses!

About the Contributor

Zoe Perez, Editor-In-Chief

“Now who is THAT girl?” you might ask when you catch a glimpse of the gorgeous, glamorous, and glowing Zoe; I know I did! Zoe is one of the most inspiring people at Agua Fria High School. Being the junior class STUCO president and an academic achiever as well as a social butterfly, there’s no doubt you’ll stumble upon this icon when attending Agua Fria. In her free time, Zoe volunteers at school events and attends clubs. School Clubs and activities she participates in include NHS, Journalism Club, and Owl Closet, and she hopes to soon join Key Club. When she's home she studies, talks to her boyfriend (Orlando Gomez), or crafts: crocheting, making jewelry, and sewing. She likes painting her nails and doing her makeup, as well as planning outfits for funsies. Although people assume she's mean when they first look at her, personality-wise Zoe is very social and she can be bubbly. She has a lot to say and her teachers say she is very academic and organized—truly a star student. But Zoe believes she's not organized, but that she still keeps up with her education. And for appearance; Zoe gives off a serene aura with her elegant yet chic style. Zoe has a PLETHORA of unique interests. Our girly LOVES Ayesha Erotica (our favorite internet princess) which—even she says—could be considered controversial. Besides Ayesha Erotica’s songs, her playlists include alternative, punk, scene, and goth music. Zoe is intrigued by researching investigations, true crime, and paranormal content. She watches Bailey Sarian, a YouTuber who does her makeup and talks about crime, murder, and investigations. This is not an obsession, but she finds interest in The Night Stalker Richard Ramirez, a serial killer of whom she studied his complex case and the psychology of it. Zoe confidently says she has her whole future planned out: she wants to attend NAU, the University of Arizona, or Stanford to study and become a clinical psychologist or psychiatrist. She wants to live in Oregon and loves it for its weather and because it has all four seasons, unlike the area of Arizona she resides in. She doesn't envision a family-oriented life, she would like to prioritize her career for her future. She plans to travel and someday experience her dream vacations: Greece and Italy. Zoe says moving from Trevor Browne High School to Agua Fria High School is a significant moment that shaped her into a whole different person; she says she's opened up and became more social, putting herself out there, and getting more involved. Agua Fria led her to meet her boyfriend (Orlando Gomez) and join journalism which has been significant for her to pursue her love for journaling. In her freshman year Zoe joined journalism because she previously took digital journalism which is nothing like this she says. Ms. Fowler's Journalism Class allows her to write to inform and put herself out there for her to be well-known which she says is a great thing. Zoe is an opinion reporter and editor— also media editor, and hopes to become president of the journalism class as she already holds the role for the Journalism Club.
