WHY CHOOSE TENNIS
For girls looking to try something new, tennis is a great option. We understand that tennis will be a top priority for some, but may be a second or third sport or just something to do with your friends. Those are all great options. We do expect players to fully (or nearly fully) commit during the 8-10 week Spring season, but the off-season is pressure-free. For those who want to work hard and improve, we'll do everything we can to help you. But if you have other priorities, we understand.
Why Else? There are tons of reasons! Tennis is a sport for life. You don't see many adults out playing other sports after high school and college. But Portland alone has over 4,000 adults still competing in tennis. Most of the coaches play 4+ times per week and compete regularly (Peter plays 30-50 official matches per year). Studies even show that tennis players live nearly 10 years longer.
About Us
Sherwood Girls Tennis was founded with one main principle: Opportunity.
We provide the opportunity to learn to play tennis and to learn to love the game by through coaches who are passionate about both playing and teaching tennis. With Varsity, JV and JV2 teams, the team includes all skill levels, even beginners. In addition to the season, we offer 50+ off-season practices to give every player the support to meet their goals.
Over the years, we have become one of the strongest teams in Oregon. Our strength lies in the number of talented and hard-working players we have in the program. Most players don't start until high school but can quickly rise through the program if they take advantage of all the opportunities. The team's success comes from having enough players who choose to practice and coaches who are eager to help.
