Raider Tennis Program Mission: To teach, develop, and foster a winning tennis tradition on and off the court that aligns with excellence established at HPHS Tennis Program and the commitment to get student athletes ready to contribute at the next level on day one.
Raider Tennis Practice
The focus will be on learning doubles play, strategy, fitness, and the commitment to what it takes to win state championships. With hard work, for those students who desire to play at HPHS, the transition will be seamless for those who make the team. This streamlined approach is by design to maximize student athlete success at a state championship program. Students will be given the blue print for success, as well as the guidance to follow it, and the rest is up to the hard work and dedication of the athlete.
Team Composition/Information
- Both 7th and 8th Grade boys and girls compete together on the tennis team.
- No specific uniform is required for practice. Proper tennis attire is required.

I look forward to meeting everyone and continuing the standard of excellence that is HPMS Raider Tennis. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
