| Description | |
| The after-school tennis program is sponsored by the Hillview PTO, and is open to all Hillview students. Less experienced players will get as much practice time as all players, but should not expect as many matches vs other schools. 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, suggest how parents can arrange carpools and snacks. We will need more. Our returning head coach will be USPTA tennis pro and high school coach Yasuo Fukui yasuofukui@gmail.com. We currently need an assistant coach. If any parent is willing to help please let us know (or if you know of anyone). There will be high school tennis player assistant coaches as well . Our Hillview Athletic Director is Harry Bell, jchbell@sbcglobal.net, 650 483-4049. Please visit our tennis team web page at http://hillview-tennis.com. Registration period is from January 30 -February 6. Registration will only be allowed online sportability.com/hillview. If you have questions regarding online sign ups please contact Christine Keefer (christinekeefer@gmail.com). Christine is the Hillview Registration coordinator. 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. Thanks to efforts of our Head Coach (Yasuo Fukui) and cooperation from the city of Menlo Park we’ve managed to secure more court space this year. We will do our absolute best to accommodate all those who register. Tryout Schedule: Tryouts to determine Varsity A and Varsity B teams will occur Sunday, Feb 26-Friday, March 3. Tryouts will occur after school from noon – 6:00 pm on Sunday at M-A, and at Nealon Park from 3:30-6:30 Mon/Tues/Fri or 3:00-6:00 Wed/Thur. In order to form these three teams, the coaches will be evaluating the level of solid fundamental tennis skills. Players will be assigned 2 tryouts (or will be able to sign up online for their tryout) during that period of 6 days. Tryouts and practices this year will be held @ M-A and Nealon Park on Middle in Menlo Park. Each tryout session will be for one hour. To sign up your child for his/her tryout, go to hillview-tennis.com Practice Schedule: Regular practices to begin Sunday, March 5 from 12:00-6:00pm @ M-A high school tennis courts.
