On Saturday, May 4, Hall High School’s boys and girls tennis teams spearheaded a remarkable initiative for the West Hartford community.

A total of 53 budding tennis enthusiasts, aged 8 to 13, eagerly participated in a dynamic tennis clinic, brimming with engaging drills and exciting games. There was no cost to attend the clinic.

The event, meticulously organized and executed by the team captains, proved to be a resounding success, drawing praise from participants and organizers alike. Captain Elle Wolfe expressed her optimism, envisioning this clinic as a future hallmark tradition for aspiring Hall Titans tennis players.

The clinic not only provided invaluable tennis instruction but also fostered a sense of community spirit and camaraderie among all involved. With such a positive reception, there’s no doubt that this event has the potential to become a cherished annual tradition, further solidifying Hall High’s commitment to sportsmanship and community engagement.

Attendees included Jack, the 8-year-old grandson of legendary boys head tennis coach Jim Solomon.

Solomon’s 50-year legacy as coach of the Hall boys tennis team will be celebrated on Saturday, May 18, at 10 a.m., at the Hall tennis courts. Those who plan to attend are asked to RSVP through this link.

Hall will also support another coach who has reached the 50-year milestone. Sue Curnias will be honored for her 50 years as coach of Hall’s girls track and field team. That celebration will be held at Hall High School on Tuesday, May 14, at 3:15 p.m., just prior to the start of the Hall vs. Conard outdoor track meet.
