MILLARD WEST HIGH SCHOOL
MILLARD WEST HIGH SCHOOL BOYS TENNIS – Parent Information Coaching Philosophy It is our hope by participating in the boy’s tennis program your son will improve as a tennis player, develop his character and work ethic, and build relationships that support him during and beyond his experience as a Wildcat. We will encourage each boy to set individual goals. Those goals should begin with their effort, attitude, and contribution to the team throughout the season. Their commitment should be to practice for improvement towards their best athletic performance. Each player’s positive attitude will contribute to a positive team atmosphere. All team members should support one another during practice and during match play setting the stage for many winwin situations both on and off the court. Our goal is for each boy is to have their best experience as an athlete representing Millard West High School.
