Subculture Proposal -Jenna

By:
1. Explain your involvement in the subculture you plan to study. 
I am choosing to study the subculture of Girls Varsity tennis at KO. I was on the varsity team last year, and I have been been attending the weekly winter varsity tennis practices this year. I usually play doubles, but occasionally I'll play a singles match. 

2. Why are you interested in studying this subculture? 
I am interested in studying this subculture because I feel it is one that people hear about often from our coach, Mr.Garcia, but few have experience playing with the team. Tennis is a major aspect of my life, and playing with the girls has given me an entire new outlook on the sport. 


3. Who will you interview? Who will you observe? What other research or field work could you conduct?
I am definitely interview Mr. Garcia. He has been extremely passionate about this team for many years, and I feel that it will be interesting to hear his input on this subculture; and how the "cycle" or seniors graduating and freshmen and sophomores coming in affects the team itself.  I will also interview Isa Raymond, a junior, because she is a veteran member of our team and is definitely not a "kook" in any aspect. I'm also going to interview Issy Rome, a freshman. She is very new to the team, having only attended our winter practices, so I feel that it will be great to get her insight. I'm going to observe the team during our winter practice sessions. About 75% of the team attends these sessions, so I feel that the they will be extremely similar to the tennis season in the spring. These happen every Sunday and Tuesday for about two hours. Other fields of research that I will conduct is studying group chats between the teammates, and also emails sent to us from Mr. Garcia.
