Tennis (Boys)

The Deerfield boys tennis program is an excellent one. Under Coach Morsman the varsity team has captured one national title, two New England Championships, and four Kingswood-Oxford School tournaments.

We start the season with the Kingswood-Oxford Tournament, then play dual matches every Wednesday and Saturday, and then play in the New England Tournament. The season ends with a singles and doubles tournament. Every year we have a winning season. We work hard, show improvement, and, more importantly, have fun.

Our facility includes 18 medium-speed, all-weather courts. A spectators’ pagoda takes a commanding view of the center courts. 

Boys tennis at Deerfield is coached by Jay Morsman. For more information, please contact Mr. Morsman at jmorsman@deerfield.edu.
