MV Tennis Families,

I want to personally introduce myself and let you know how excited I am about being the new Head Coach of the Mountain Vista girl’s tennis team. I finished the fall season as the head coach of the boy’s tennis team at Mountain Vista and we had one of the most successful teams in school history. We finished #6 in the state as I took over a team that was 4-7 the previous season. I loved every second of it and look forward to carrying over the momentum into the girl’s season. I have been heavily involved in the tennis industry for well over 20 years in many aspects (teaching, coaching, running the Colorado State Open, running other special tennis events, and am currently with Babolat.) I have played tennis since I was 4 years old and it has been a passion of mine ever since. I am originally from Newport Beach, CA and moved to Highlands Ranch 20 years ago. I have 2 boys. One is a senior at Highlands Ranch High School and the other is a sophomore at Arizona State University, which is my alma mater as well. Go Devils!

The support I have received this last year coaching the boys at Mountain Vista from the athletic director, coaches, admin, staff and families has been off the charts and I have truly found my home in coaching at Vista. My goal, as I have told all the families of the boys’ team, is to carry on the strong tradition of tennis at Mountain Vista and really build a powerhouse of a program for both the boys and girls that all students in the area want to play for. I am so excited for the challenge ahead with the girl’s program and to get to know each and every one of you and your amazing student-athletes. I am all in!!!

Now a few notes with a lot of upcoming information in the next few weeks...

-Pre-Season conditioning - if your daughters haven't been playing tennis since maybe the summer, now is a good time to find some indoor court time or find an outdoor court once the weather permits. Indoor tennis facilities like Northridge Rec Center, Randy Ross Tennis Club, Parker Racquet Club, Lifetime, South Suburban all have some clinics the girls can drop in. It is also a great idea to work on cardio so once practices start up, we can get right into tennis and not have to play catch up on conditioning.

Registration - will open on Feb 3rd and close on Feb 16th. An updated physical must be on file as well. More information on this will be sent to each of you once I get it from the athletics office. Nothing is needed at this time.

-Tryouts / Practices - will start Feb 24th - that is a CHSAA set date. So be ready to be on the courts that Monday at 3pm. Practices will run from 3-5pm.

-Parent Meeting - I will be holding an in person meeting sometime in mid February at Mountain Vista. There will be a lot discussed at the meeting and look forward to meeting everyone! Stay tuned on date.

I think that is it for now without overwhelming you with too much information. But please understand that I am fully committed to all the girls and making the Mountain Vista tennis program the best tennis program in the state, one that turns heads. I hope your girls are fully invested as well and I'm looking forward to a super fun and successful season. If you have any questions on anything I have mentioned, please let me know. Let's make this an awesome season!

GO EAGLES!
