New Tennis Coach Brings Positive Attitude

By Hannah Reeves

With over 25 years of experience, Coach Deb Rupar brings a new perspective as the new girl’s varsity tennis coach.  Starting her tennis career in high school herself, Coach Rupar said, “the game of tennis will stick with the girls for the rest of their lives.  Once you pick up the racket, the racket is with you for life.”

Coach Rupar brings her knowledge, skills, and passion to every practice and game.  She shows the girls the techniques to make a winner, but also the love everyone should have for the game of tennis.

Coach Rupar has many goals for the 2010 girl’s varsity tennis team.  The biggest goal is to get the girls to state.  She also enjoys seeing them win, and knowing they had the time of their lives doing it.  Along with the goal of winning, she also wants to show the younger generation the techniques of being a winner and how enjoyable each stroke of their racket can be.

Her love for tennis makes practices and games worth going to, and each girl always has a smiling coach behind her cheering her on.
