Avery Marie Smith '17 Recruiting Profile

My academic goal is to complete undergraduate school and go on to receive a degree in Law.  My athletic goal is to play tennis at the collegiate level.  I am hoping to find a school that will assist me in reaching these goals. I began to focus more on tennis in my freshman year and fell more in love with the sport every time I was on court. I made varsity at Ursuline Academy as a seventh grader and started at second doubles but quickly moved up to first doubles. I transferred from Ursuline Academy to Walpole High School before my sophomore season. I now play singles at Walpole and have been selected as team captain for 2017. In the off season, I work to improve my tennis skills at the Brown Billone tennis club. I also work on my fitness a nutrition. I my experience at both doubles and singles make me a well rounded player who can contribute to a team's success.. My favorite part about tennis is that you can never stop learning and improving. I am excited and eager to learn more at the college level.
