To: Steve Heon, WAHS Athletic Director

We respectfully request improvements be made to the WAHS tennis courts as soon as possible. The primary improvements needed for the WAHS tennis facility are court resurfacing for all six tennis courts. Improvements should be completed by the end of the 2022 calendar year in order to ensure that courts will be ready for the beginning of the 2023 season in February 2023.

The girls and boys WAHS tennis teams have a very strong and proud history of successful state championship winning teams. The girls have won three state championships including two in a row in the past two seasons. The boys have won nine state championships including four consecutive state titles over the past four seasons. We believe that the championship efforts put forth by both the girls’ and boys’ WAHS tennis teams over the years deserve the attention and support of the WAHS athletic program. The current condition of the WAHS tennis courts is very disappointing and does not accurately reflect the high caliber of the championship teams representing WAHS year after year. Resurfacing the courts would be a significant improvement to the WAHS tennis facility that would elevate team morale and help retain/attract superior coaching staff.

We understand that Albemarle County Public Schools time and resources are valuable, and we greatly appreciate your consideration in this matter.
