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 Karen Iver and Shari Conrad (they both could use additional help). We still need coordinators and an assistant coach for Jr. Varsity team. Our returning head coach will be Yasuo Fukui. Our Hillview Athletics Director is Harry Bell or 326-4341 ext 2811. If interested in helping with either coordinating or assistant coaching please contact Harry at your convenience.

Registration Deadline is Wednesday, February 27
Registration will only be allowed online. If you have questions regarding online sign ups please contact Donna McMaster. 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. Also, any players who sign up need not be super experienced players, but should have some experience and know how to keep score.

Scholarships may be available upon request to School Counselors.

Robyn Watts - 6th Graders, 8th Graders M-Z
