Girls Tennis

A Legacy of Excellence

Rowland Hall's girls tennis team has been a dominant force for decades, securing an incredible 12 state and 22 regional championships.

This legacy of success and excellence is a direct result of the dedication of our top coaching staff and their desire to grow within every player the skills needed to be their best. This includes both technical fundamentals and crucial life skills, like hard work, commitment, and perseverance. Simply put, we don't just teach our players how to play tennis—we teach them how to live life well.

Meet the Coach

Rowland Hall's girls tennis team is coached by one of the winningest coaches in Utah High School Activities Association history, Rich Francey. After coaching Rowland Hall's boys and girls tennis teams from 1991 to 2004, Rich moved to Southern California, where he worked for some of the biggest names in tennis, including Prince, Babolat, and Nike. After returning to Utah, Rich resumed his coaching role at Rowland Hall, seeking to add to his already impressive coaching record.

Winged Lion Legacy

Since our founding, Rowland Hall has understood the importance of physical education alongside academics. That's why the school turned its alfalfa field, used for grazing cattle, into one of Utah's earliest tennis courts around the turn of the 20th century. Ever since, Rowland Hall's students have taken to the court with enthusiasm and joy.
