Welcome to Golden Eagles Tennis

Welcome to the newest High School Tennis Team and the most exhilarating sport on the planet!

We are in for some serious fun this coming Spring and Summer as we prepare for Boys and Girls Tennis 2009-2010. And I kid you not when I say serious fun! Serious because MMHS Tennis is all about becoming the best that is in us. Fun because that naturally follows our pursuit of excellence.

My smart and sometimes smartalecky nephew, Andrew Whiting, pointed out that we currently are undefeated...and I must add that we will continue to be undefeated through 2009! And who knows maybe even 2010?

So I'll quit yacking here and throw out some ideas to see who wants to make MMHS Tennis the best in the Region, State and maybe even in the Nation...and if not the best then how about the most fun? We have 6 brand new post tension concrete tennis courts with a perfect latex surface. Our athletic director also promises to obtain windscreens along with a Lobster ball machine and several other court niceties that rival the best of any High School in the Nation.

Keep in mind that we will also obtain court time throughout the winter at the Spanish Fork Indoor tennis courts which is the most convenient and accommodating facility in the United States of America, and I am not exaggerating! Where else can you find a less expensive place to play indoor tennis all year round--anytime of the day or night on an excellent court surface--and with no light fees!

Any athlete, student, parent, brother, or sister, who would like to be a part of making the very first Maple Mountain High School Boys Tennis Team a success email me with your suggestions and your willingness to "serve"--pun intended!

We are looking for volunteers skilled in promotion, photography, newspaper reporting, tournament directing, video taping, transportation, poster publication, tournament scheduling--and someone who has traveled to the US OPEN at Flushing Meadows New York who can help us set a goal and figure out how to get our first MMHS team there to watch the big time players in person September 2010!

Stay posted for our open court time, clinics, and tournaments this Summer! Best wishes to you in your tennis quest!

Sincerely, your new coach who might even be as excited about the Tennis Team as you are!
