They expect for you and your teammates to set high performance goals and always put a “championship effort” into all that you do. Athletics is just one of many parts of the educational program at Vista Murrieta High School. Remember, the reason students are in school is to learn and therefore academics will always come first! Always give a “championship effort” in the academic arena AND in the athletic arena! THE VALUE OF COCO----CURRICULARCURRICULAR ACTIVITIES RELATING TO FUTURE SUCCESS Research indicates that students involved in co-curricular activities have a greater chance of success during adulthood. Many of the positive character traits required to be a successful participant in athletics are exactly those that will promote a successful life after high school. Success Success is the way you walk the paths of life each and every day, It’s in the little things you do and in the things you say, It’s not in reaching heights or fame, It’s not in reaching goals that all men seek to claim. Success is being big of heart, clean and broad of mind.

Welcome to the 2018 spring sports season and the Hall Boys Tennis family. The varsity (Team 1) has an 18 match schedule that includes league, non-league and tournament play and two pre-season scrimmages. The Junior Varsity (Team 2) has 12 scheduled matches--some co-ed. Both schedules may be found on Hall’s Athletic Dept website. Few public schools have multiple teams, but with our outstanding facility, support of the Athletic Department and heightened interest among student-athletes, Hall is a nationally recognized USTA “No Cut Tennis” program and is the largest boys team in Connecticut. We are fortunate to have two returning assistant coaches, Sean Passan and Steven Smith. Philosophy: Hall Tennis has an excellent reputation for its high standards of ​ performance and conduct on the courts. As coaches we try to achieve success by balancing team and individual goals and by focusing on performance rather than outcome objectives. Players strive to improve competitive skills, strategy, mental toughness and physical conditioning. As with any individual sport, it is crucial that we build a strong sense of team. With the captains’ capable assistance, we emphasize team commitment as well as the privilege of representing Hall Tennis, Hall High School, their families and themselves. We hope to instill a love of tennis as a life sport.
