posted 05/15/2013 Wake Forest-Rolesville High School and the Adaptive Tennis Association of North Carolina teamed up on Tuesday, April 9 for an unforgettable afternoon of tennis and camaraderie.
 ATANC spent the last four weeks working with students at WFRHS to get them familair with tennis and working with special need athletes. They also provided equipment and tennis training to the school. This inititative, known as the PE Adaptive Tennis Program, is currently utilized in three schools in North Carolina and ATANC hopes to have it in many more across the state within the year.
On April 9 ATANC and WFRHS special education teacher Gail Tucker teamed up to provide special needs students at the high school an opportunity to play tennis alongside its men’s Cougar tennis team. The Cougar tennis squad took part in drills with the students before playing abbreviated combo doubles matches with them.
“Events like these mean more than you’ll ever know,” said Tucker. “Not only to my students, but to their parents as well.”
Tucker shared a story from a parent soon after beginning a similair program called Field of Dreams, which paired baseball and special needs students together. She recalled the parent saying, “I can’t believe all of these students are out here cheering for my child and calling them by name. We’ve never had that. For the first time ever, I actually feel like he is part of the school.
“It is this one statement that fuels me to involve my students in as many athletic opportunities as possible within our school,” explained Tucker. “The benefits are endless.”
Shortly before the match began, the Cougars’ opponent that evening, Wakefield High School, invited the WFRHS special needs students into their pre-game cheer. Instead of chanting its own school name, the Wolverines squad opted to go with a neutral and thus unified “Go Wake Forest” chant.
 The idea to bring the tennis team and special needs students together for the day's match actually originated from Cougar student-athlete Lukas Warren, a senior on the tennis team. Lukas is part of a class called Peer Discovery, which sends students into elementary classrooms in the community to assist teachers with classroom activities. He chose to join Tucker’s class and hopes to work with special needs students after graduation.
“Lukas has developed a wonderful relationship with the class and was very excited to help them learn to play tennis,” said Tucker. “The kids loved supporting him also by cheering him on during his match. I think one of the greatest benefits of involving our special needs students with their school’s athletic program is the relationships that are formed between our regular education and special education populations. Everyone learns, everyone grows!”
Although WFRHS lost the match 8-1 to Wakefield High School, it certainly won the day.
USTA North Carolina partners with organizations across the state to spread the game of tennis to athletes of all abilities. In fact, adaptive tennis training and special equipment for special education PE classes were provided to WFRHS by the PE Adaptive Tennis Program of the ATANC and a USTA Serves Grant.
For more information on how you can bring adaptive tennis to a school or program near you, contact USTA North Carolina Director of Community Development Amy Franklin at 336-852-8577 or

posted 05/10/2013 As we prepare for athletics for next year, the WFRHS's Sports Medicine Staff and our physicians at OSNC will again offer physical exams for our student athletes at Wake Forest-Rolesville High School on Tuesday, May 28th from 5 PM until 7 PM that evening. The costs is only $10 and either cash or checks made payable to WFR-HS will be accepted. All proceeds will be donated back to the athletic department to assist in paying for first aid and taping supplies.
In addition to the quality of the sports physical that they have received or will receive, there will be an added medical service that will be available that evening. Rex Hospital will provide echocardiography screening for athletes determined to be at risk for cardiovascular abnormalities.
Attached are the necessary permission forms that need to be completed by the parents prior to getting their exam. Please promote this event by telling all of your athletes to take advantage of this opportunity.
It is also very important to express to your athletes that if they are under the care of a physician for any injury or medical condition, ie. asthma, diabetes, prior cardiologist visits, etc., it is strongly recommended that they get a letter from that physician stating that they are cleared to participate in athletics for that condition or illness and bring a copy to the exam.

posted 04/12/2013 Please see the attached flyer from the NFHS. Four World Book Learning Pro courses are being offered at no cost to students beginning April 15 and continuing through July 15.
IThe National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) has launched new online courses to help high school students improve study skills.
Learning Pro: Simple Ways to Improve Study Habits and Promote Learning, a new suite of online courses designed specifically for students, is now available on the NFHS Coach Education Program Web site at www.nfhslearn.com. The Learning Pro program, developed by World Book, Inc., delivers practical advice on improving study skills and grades through four courses: Homework Helper, Reading and Learning Strategies, Research Skills and Testing Tips.
Learning Pro is led by an on-camera host while peer correspondents file reports from the field for an entertaining spin on study skills. Interactive exercises allow students to learn about and practice their new skills, and printable resources are available for future reference.
“NFHSLearn.com is about delivering information that supports positive student experiences in athletics and after-school activities,” said Bob Gardner, NFHS executive director. “With Learning Pro, we are expanding that mission by teaming with World Book to bring useful information to the students themselves.”
“World Book is delighted to link its expertise in crafting informational and educational content that works for students with the NFHS’ commitment to support students in and outside the classroom,” said Don Keller, president of World Book, Inc. “NFHSLearn.com is a powerful tool for educators and students alike to use in today’s extraordinarily challenging teaching and learning environment.”
“Learning Pro is a great addition to NFHSLearn.com,” said Tim Flannery, NFHS director of coach education. “This is another example of NFHS’ mission of developing and supporting education efforts around interscholastic sports and activities. The collaboration between the NFHS and the education experts at World Book has resulted in a unique online learning experience that brings families and educators together in helping busy students develop study and reading skills in an innovative way.”
Learning Pro enables students, and parents, to focus on specific skills, and add more courses based upon their skill-building needs. Each course can be purchased online at NFHSLearn.com, or a Learning Pro purchaser can buy all four courses at one time to receive a free one-year individual subscription to the World Book Web (a collection of online reference sources geared to the varying needs of elementary, intermediate and secondary school students).
