Welcome to Boulder High Boys Tennis!  Please see "Important Dates" below for information on what is happening this spring in boys' tennis.

If anyone would like to have photographs of the 2012 Boys' Tennis team posted on the website, please contact the webmaster, Renée Winklmann, at renee.winklmann@gmail.com.

Grocery Bag
Grocery Store Shoppers.  Here is an easy way for you to earn money for the boys' tennis team.  Make A Difference Club (MADC) is a BHS parent-run club that raises money for the BHS faculty.  We sell $10 reloadable grocery certificates (plastic gift cards) from Safeway and King Soopers stores.  After purchasing a grocery certificate, you reload them at the customer service desks or at the checkout stands of one of these stores.  Every time you reload, MADC receives 5% of your reload amount.  You may reload up to $500 on a card.  If you specify boys' tennis as the organization that you would like to support, let us know and the team will receive 2½ % of your profit.  For more information please contact, Lisa Lesniak, at grocery.cert.ljl@gmail.com.

Boulder High School Tennis Camp
The Boulder High Tennis camp will be the week of August 6 thru August 10.  We will meet at 9 am every day during the week with Saturday a make-up day in case of a rain-out.  The camp is a two hour camp daily
(9 am to 11 am) at Centennial Middle School Courts.  Registration will begin at 8 am at the Centennial Courts, August 6th.   We will conclude the week with a tournament for all of the camp participants.  They will be playing against players with similar skills.  The cost for camp is $120.00 for the week.  Make your check out to Gale Howard.   If you want to mail your check prior to registration, mail it to 4281 Vinca Court, Boulder, CO 80304.  This camp is designed to get everyone evaluated and prepared for try-outs which start the following Monday for the boys.  All new players will go through an extensive evaluation where we will assess and grade all of their tennis skills.  Each parent will receive an evaluation sheet following the camp.  We stress conditioning at this camp to make sure everyone is prepared for challenge matches, which start the following week for the boys.

This year we will have an outstanding staff headed up by the Boulder High School coaching staff.  We are very excited to meet all new incoming freshmen and all of our returning players.

Girls are also welcome at the camp.

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to call me.
