LGHS Facility Renovation Project

 

Currently the South Bay Community Tennis Association (SBCTA) is working on the LGHS Tennis Facility Renovation Project. The project will combine matching funds from the Los Gatos High School, LGS Recreation Department, SBCTA, Local Corporate Sponsors, New Mellinium Foundation, and grants from the USTA and NRPA.

The goal is to raise $175,000 to renovate current tennis courts, replace fencing, and add lights to courts #4 and #5.

Tennis Court Resurfacing Projects
 

Several public tennis courts and high school tennis courts are in need of repair. The South Bay CTA has combined efforts of non-profit organizations to repair court surfaces in the South Bay.

In 2002, the South Bay CTA, USTA, Los Gatos High School, and Los Gatos-Saratoga Recreation Deptartment combined forces to resurface the courts at Los Gatos High School. These courts went to immediate use. The Los Gatos Wildcats Boys team went on an impressive record, taking the Central Coast Section Title 3 years in a row and capturing the NorCal State Title twice. The LGS Recreation Programs participation quadrupled in the last 4 years. Nationally recognized as a no-cut sport Los Gatos High School fielded a girls team of 68 players in 2006.

In 2005, the South Bay CTA combined with the USTA, NRPA, and the City of San Jose to resurface the tennis courts at Castillero Middle School. The South Bay CTA followed up the resurfacing by hosting a Teacher in-Service and trained over 20 PE teacher from San Jose how to implement a tennis program at their school. An after school program was established and a middle school team competed in the Mid-Peninsula Tennis League. A 6-Tennis program (Parent run league) followed and a summer Ralleyball camp has been established on the courts at Castillero.
