My Students

My students are fantastic! They are kind! They are a diverse bunch of young people from all parts of the world and background. Most of them are first time tennis players or never played before they got to high school...or this March!

These young ladies are some of the best representatives of our high school.

We are so excited to get into this season, but we need help to make sure this group of young people have what they need to compete with the other local schools. Please consider helping our girls tennis team learn to love a life long sport.

Thank you!

My Project

Our girls tennis team is in a development year with two new coaches. We have taken over a little late in the game and are trying to get moving to give these young ladies a good season. Many are new to the sport.

This project will help us outfit and equipment the team.

Many are not able to wear skirts or shorts to play as they are part of communities and religion that do not allow their legs to show. We will be going with lightweight joggers for this reason and Benson t-shirts. We also need dome cones, tennis balls, and clipboards.

Help us get these girls started so they can learn a life long skill!
