The Rockford Girls' Tennis program has some new faces on the coaching staff. Coach Wallace headed the recruiting of the these ladies and she did a wonderful job. To get these ladies to come coach we just had to give them each a new car, pay their mortgage and give up our entire salary. This is how well respected these coaches are. Honestly though I don't want to get cited by the MHSAA, we didn't give them any of those things stated above, they're coaching for the love of the game and because they want to promote Rockford Tennis.
Katie Unsworth- Comes to us with a rich experience in Rockford tennis. Twelve years ago she coached Rockford Girls JV tennis and also for the last ten years she has headed the Rockford Community Ed. Tennis Programs for Rockford. Coach Unsworth stays play competitive tennis on a women’s adult 4.0 tennis league, yes she has game! Coach Unsworth also is a huge advocate of cardio tennis, which I love, because we can mix in hitting with the cardio aspect of the game. Girls' get ready to be sore. We are extremely happy to have Coach Unsworth with us and I believe she will do amazing things for this program. She will be coaching our JV "B" team
Mary Kovac- Will be helping Coach Wallace out with our JV program. Mary also plays competitive 4.0 adult tennis. My first take when I met Mary was, "Wow this lady is a competitor!" Mary has Varsity Coaching experience, when she lived in Colorado as well as a variety of coaching experience around the area. Just talking to Mary I know she has a vast knowledge of tennis expertise that will translate with our girls. I may have to steal Mary away from Coach Wallace to help me out from time to time. If I do I think Coach Wallace might beat me with her leg, she likes to do that.
Anyhow, when you see's these ladies around, coaching it up, make sure to introduce yourself.
