Every year, volunteer coaches support our junior players who are ready to experience tournament play in the Junior Tennis Team (JTT) season. The juniors get to practice many aspects of their game and meet new opponents. We proudly recognize all the players who participated, and encourage anyone who might want to join next year to learn more!
Much mahalo to Head Coach Wayne Yamada (14s 3.0 Yellow Ball Hilo Hawks and Hilo Reign teams ); Coach Mike Kanemoto (12s Green Ball 2.5 Double Rainbows, 12s Yellow Ball 3.0 HIlo Bangers teams) and Coach Riley Ceria (12s Green Ball 2.5 Hilo Hits Green, 12s Yellow Ball 3.0 HIlo HIts Yellow teams). Parents Tracie Yoshimoto and Linda Kow also lent their time and support. We thank them all for their generosity and dediication make this opportunity possible for our young players.
