🐝 Coaches Spotlight 🐝
Meet our boys and girls Head Tennis Coach Antonio Ramos!

During my time playing for The University of the Incarnate Word Crusaders from 1997-2002, I certainly had many treasurable moments that I am extremely grateful for and truly blessed to have been a part of something very special.
I will always remember winning the 2002 NCAA Division II Regional Title, which marked our first-ever berth in program history to the NCAA Division II National Championship in Kansas City, MO. That year we finished as the Top 20th team in the nation. Individually, I finished ranked in the top 20th in the Midwest for doubles.

Throughout my coaching career I have also had so many special moments. One special moment for me was back in the spring of 2022, our freshman team won both the Boys and Girls District Championship, nearly sweeping every draw. All those players went on to win multiple district championships throughout their high school careers and all graduated with Academic All-State honors, and 2 summa cm laude grads as well!

I have been coaching tennis now for just over 26 years. In 2007, I earned the highest level achieveable as an Elite Tennis Professional by The United States Professional Tennis Association (USPTA), while I was working as a tennis pro at The Dominion Country Club and competing on the Men's USTA Pro Circuit at the same time.

Our program has consistently won District Championships and has also qualified for the Bi-District and Regional Championships. While, this is always my goal every year, I am very determined to win a varsity fall team tennis District Championship and a Spring-Individual Tennis State Championship. That is something that we have not accomplished just yet.

In 2016, I was awarded the Ike Groce Vision Award from the Texas Tennis Coaches Association (TTCA) for creating community after school & adaptive P.E. tennis programs, and establishing our East Central National Junior Tennis & Learning (NJTL) Summer Camp which still runs today. In 2017, I was awarded the Charlie McClearly Community Service Award from The United States Tennis Association (USTA) for raising just over $47,000 in capital funds and grants from The United States Tennis Association that were used to refurbish the tennis facilities at Legacy & Heritage Middle School. I love being a part of the EC community as I will soon begin my 13th year this August as a special education teacher and the head tennis coach at ECHS. I'm very honored and proud to serve here.

My hope is that our program continues to grow in strength year after year, and to continue to improve our facility for our community to enjoy

Thank you.
