2019 All District Awards
WHAT IS ALL-DISTRICT? Every year All-District teams are chosen by all the head coaches in a district for Team Tennis. Each head coach nominates players from his team for each honor based on such things as: how that athlete performed in district play, minutes played during the season, statistics, work ethic, attitude, and how that athlete is looked upon by opposing coaches; however, coaches can only vote for players from other teams. Coppell Tennis obviously has a very dominant presence on the All-District Team!!
