ISL Sportsmanship Award (Marion Z. Jessup Trophy): 2017, 2022 (runner-up)
Governor’s Girls Varsity Tennis competes with grit and good sportsmanship in the highly competitive Independent School League (ISL). As individuals and as a team, players compete to the best of their abilities, aiming to win with grace, rally from setbacks with resilience, and have fun playing a game that is a lifetime sport. Twice in the last decade, our ISL opponents have voted us the league’s Marion Z. Jessup Trophy for exemplary sportsmanship.
Featuring eight outdoor hard courts and three indoor courts, the Academy’s tennis facilities allow players to practice their serves, returns, and volleys even during inclement weather. The team plays six days per week throughout the spring season. Practices include about 75 minutes of court time daily and matches typically take place on Wednesdays and Saturdays. The team often travels to Florida or Bermuda during March Break for preseason training and team bonding.
With thirteen highly competitive programs, the ISL annually produces teams vying for New England Prep School Athletic Conference (NEPSAC) championships in Classes A, B, and C. Players at the top of ISL teams’ ladders go on to play in college at the NCAA Division I, II, and III levels. Governor’s Girls Varsity Tennis plays a seventeen-match schedule: twelve matches against ISL teams and five against out-of-league opponents. Each competition follows a nine-point format: three doubles matches (an eight-game pro set each) followed by six singles matches (two six-game sets with a 10-point tiebreaker in the case of split sets). Players are eligible to compete in both doubles and singles matches.
