Meet The Staff
Jennifer Van Winkle, Head Tennis Professional
Jennifer Van Winkle’s love for the game started in junior high, when her father signed her and her sister up for tennis lessons. She ended up loving the sport and went on to play in college, while also participating in squash and badminton competitions. After college, she gave group and private tennis lessons at Baywinds Tennis Club before moving on to coach a season at Saint Mary's High.
