Welcome to Jeff Arons Tennis

I am the tennis director at Sacred Heart Schools (SHS). I have coached tennis in the Bay Area for the past twenty years and have had extensive experience working with players of all ages and abilities. I feel fortunate to have had a unique set of coaching opportunities that have helped me develop as a coach. My coaching experiences range from creating and running an inner-city tennis/academic after-school program (East Palo Alto Tennis and Tutoring Program) to coaching a Wimbledon doubles champion.

The new tennis facility at Sacred Heart is a great venue for young players to learn and improve their tennis games. My talented staff and I are excited to provide your children with a program that will allow them to learn the game of tennis in a fun and stimulating environment. We are also eager to provide the requisite programming that will continue to build on that early success.

What to Expect at Workouts

• STAFF - I will personally hire and train all staff. All coaches will communicate in a positive and thoughtful manner with the students. Losaline Mafileo, the head coach of the boys' and girls' tennis teams at Sacred Heart Prep (SHP) will lead a team of talented and dedicated coaches. Losaline's leadership skills and coaching abilities have helped SHP improve its tennis program dramatically. In 2005, the boys' team earned SHP's first CCS tennis title defeating Menlo School in a hard fought final. The girls' program has also prospered under Mafileo. In 2004, the Gators shared their first WCAL title with rival St. Francis and reached the semi-finals of the CCS team tournament. In 2005 the Gators were a perfect 14-0 in WCAL league play and reached the quarter-final round of CCS team play.
• SKILL LEVELS - we welcome all ability levels. Once at the workouts, students will be evaluated and placed in groups with other players of similar age and ability.
• FUN - our workouts will consist of fast moving and creative drills/games designed to cultivate an interest in the sport. MOTOR SKILL
• ENHANCEMENT - our workouts will be geared toward developing the motor skills that children will need to enjoy and excel at all sports.
• FITNESS/HEALTH - we believe that by promoting a passion for sports, we are planting the seeds for an active and healthy life.
• IMPROVEMENT - our clinics are designed to develop and enhance tennis skills. Our organized programming will lay a solid foundation so that students can continue to improve their games.
