​Steve Francis, Club Manager

​Steve received both Bachelor of Science and Master’s degrees at Springfield College.  He was a 4 year varsity collegiate gymnast earning NCAA All-American honors and the New England Division 1 championship on rings.

As the Athletic Director at Barnstable High, Steve managed the largest athletic program in Southeast Massachusetts, with 1,600 student athletes, 84 coaches and 54 athletic teams. His 33 year career in education included teaching and coaching at the collegiate and secondary levels.
While teaching physical education, he developed a number of students who became varsity tennis players.

He and his wife Karen built their house in West Barnstable on a lot that backed up to their association tennis court 20 years ago. Their children Jessica and Max both learned to play on this court and went on to play high school, USTA and college tennis. Jessica is currently the D-Y
