The
MHSTeCA offers an opportunity for tennis coaches to work together toward the improvement
of both individual and collective facets of the profession. For more than a quarter century, it has sponsored
clinics that have featured some of the foremost experts in our field.
Past speakers have included Arthur Ashe, Chris Evert, Vic Braden, Tim Gullikson,
Dennis Vandermeer and Peter Burwash. In addition, the association board
selects the all-state team and the coach-of-the-year award, initiates significant
rules changes (the change to four equal divisions and the 16-point state qualifier
rule are but two examples), speaks with a unified voice when working with the
MHSAA (the Gender Equity Lawsuit is but one example), offers a tournament clearinghouse to aid in locating Saturday tournaments,
and boasts an excellent web site filled with useful information.
