COACH'S CORNER
Coppell High School Tennis Family,

WOULD YOUR CHILD LIKE TO HAVE MORE LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE TO ADD TO HIS/HER COLLEGE APPLICATION?
This year we have new volunteer positions available for players on each team. This is an opportunity for our students to help CHS Tennis, all while bolstering their college apps!!
Coppell Tennis is an excellent organization and place to belong! Not only do our kids do quite well, but they also have important opportunities to build skills, resumes, and friendships. However, running such a fantastic organization takes work.
Luckily, with over 100 players, we have a huge group to shoulder that work. Right now we have many important positions (both parent and player opportunities) that need to be filled for the fall. Please click below to help out.
AT-HOME VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS
