The Middle and Upper School Dragons will be playing on new courts this fall, and we expect to host some of the very best tennis in the state!
A perennial powerhouse in the Union County, state, and private school leagues, the KPS varsity team is a wonder on the courts. Our program promotes a culture of excellence, athleticism, and sportsmanship.
Through conditioning, on-court drills, and interscholastic matches, players improve their strokes and develop an imposing repertoire of shots. The varsity team competes in the traditional three singles and two doubles matches; our JV and Middle School teams compete in doubles matches.
Coaches
Varsity: David Phimsipasom (head), Jill Olman (assistant)
Junior Varsity: Bettina Hernandez (head), Maureen Kaelin (assistant)
Middle School: Kate Hunzinger (head), Chris Mcgrath (assistant)
"Go out swinging!"

Participation in athletics is an integral part of the overall school experience for our students, and our athletic teams are a source of pride for the Kent Place community. Our philosophy is to provide a competitive athletic program where our student-athletes can reach their full potential.
