Ole Miss tennis gears up for fall season with new adjustments

While the Southeastern Conference (SEC) established its own new guidelines for the fall tennis season, Ole Miss-specific procedures have changed this year as well.

The newly reopened Palmer/Salloum Tennis Center now requires all players to have their temperatures taken prior to entry, and a coach must be present at the gate.

“We (tennis players) can’t just go and do it anymore, someone has to come and open it for us,” Ole Miss tennis player Tim Sandkaulen said.

The team will return to practicing five times a week beginning the week of Sept. 14. This will be the first time the team returns to a normal practicing schedule since the pandemic started and the team’s season ended abruptly in March.
