  • 2011 USTA Northern California Tennis Hall of Fame Larry Stefanki
    2011 USTA Northern California Tennis Hall of Fame Larry Stefanki Larry Stefanki Larry Stefanki Larry Stefanki’s professional playing and coaching career began when his family relocated to Los Altos from Illinois. "We lived across the street from Los Altos High School; my older brothers Steve and John started playing and I followed suit," Larry explains. Though he also had a passion for baseball, basketball and wrestling, tennis eventually became his main focus, as he explains, "Tennis really suited me; I loved every part of it - the running and the geometry of playing inside a rectangular box – it never got old." Along with playing on the Los Altos High School team, Larry participated in NorCal juniors tournaments. "Tennis was huge at the junior level when I was growing up. Playing in that type of competitive environment drives you to become better," he explains. It was the legendary coach Tom Chivington that drew him to Foothill College his freshman year of college. "My brothers went to Foothill so I have known Tom since I was 10 or 11. Tom is a real special guy; he understood how competitive I was. He’d believe in you and back you and those are qualities that you need in a coach." As a freshman Larry played #3 singles and doubles, and was the first player to win both singles and doubles State Championships in one year. He then earned a three-year full scholarship to UC Berkeley, playing under Bill Wright, where he played #1 singles and earned All American status. As a player on the pro tour Larry earned a career high ranking of 30 in singles and 24 in doubles (with Robert Van’t Hof).
