Description
The after school tennis program is sponsored by the Hillview PTO, and is open to all 6th, 7th, and 8th grade Hillview students who are able to play a set of tennis and know how to keep score. The Hillview PTO hires well qualified coaches to conduct practices and matches. Parent coordinators administer the program and find parent volunteers to help coaches during practice, assign carpools and snacks. This year’s coordinators will be Amy Boggs for Varsity team and Sheryl Gittings Randall for Jr. Varsity team (they both could use additional help). Our returning head coaches will be Yasuo Fukui and Dan Randall. Our Hillview Athletics Director is Harry Bell or 326-4341 ext 2811.

Registration Deadline is Wednesday, March 2
Registration will only be allowed online. If you have questions regarding online sign ups please contact Aimee Paquin. We strongly encourage signups for athletes who want to develop a life-long appreciation of tennis. Due to court limitations, late registrants may be placed on a waiting list. We are putting a cap on signups at 60.

Scholarships may be available upon request to School Counselors.
