South Yarmouth Tennis Club Announces Two Management Appointments

12/1/2018

 
The South Yarmouth Tennis Club announced two management appointments this week. Steve Francis, recently retired after serving in roles as teacher, coach and Athletic Director at Barnstable High School, has been named Club Manager. Ken Huckins, current boys varsity tennis coach at Sturgis Charter School, has been named Associate Manager.

As the Athletic Director at Barnstable High, Steve Francis managed the largest athletic program in Southeast Massachusetts, with 1,200 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.


​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.

Ken Huckins has been an SYTC member since 2012, a Youth Program instructor, a staff member, and a Board member.  

Ken's tennis background is far ranging from his current position as boys varsity tennis coach at Sturgis Charter School to a variety of tennis coaching and training positions going back to 1987.  He has been affiliated with the Arthur Carrington Tennis Academy in Amherst, MA., the Bay Road Tennis Club at Hampshire College in Amherst (pro shop manager) the Bollettieri Tennis Camp at Mount Holyoke College (video analysis of player strokes), Cathedral High school in Springfield, MA (boys varsity coach 1996-2007), Ludlow Tennis Club, Ludlow, MA ( junior clinics and lessons 2003-2007), and the Sturgis Charter School (boys varsity coach 2008-present.)

​“SYTC is very pleased to welcome Steve Francis and Ken Huckins as our new leadership team.  We are confident that Steve and Ken bring the strong day-to-day management skills essential to providing an excellent member experience - always our #1 goal,” said Board President, Stan Werlin.
