HPMS Raider Tennis 2020-2021

 

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.

 

Raider Tennis Practices

Practices will mirror what students can expect to see at HPHS Varsity 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 and in conjunction with HPHS tennis coaching staff 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 to determine their success.
