We are raising funds to maintain and grow West Ottawa's Tennis Program at all levels, K-12. This includes:
- A varsity team that competes each year for Conference and Regional titles, as well as high finishes at the State Finals.
- A junior varsity and middle school program that are are fully staffed and that have the equipment needed to develop quickly into high level athletes and players.
- Summer programming that includes a two-week camp for k-8th grade students, as well as weekly Sunday-night hits for our middle school and high school athletes.
- A year-round strength training program specific to our tennis team that any varsity or junior varisty player may participate in.
In addition to our normal expenses, we are looking to buy a ball pressurizer. Rubber costs have made tennis balls far more expensive recently, and this pressurizer will allow us to triple the life of each ball. It will cost about $1,700 to purchase. Once we have it, every player in the program from k-12 will be able to play with like-new tennis balls year round.
Your donations can also be a tax deduction. Simply email Coach Schwallier (schwallierp@westottawa.net) with your name and address, we will forward your information to the athletic department and they will send you the appropriate paperwork.
