Motivators, Mentors.

Leading a team of tennis players is no easy feat and requires some of the most experienced and patient minds in the game. That is why Esperanza High School Men's Tennis Team is so fortunate to have coaches Bill Nardi and Davis Nardi lead our team. Bill and Davis Nardi  are a father and son team. They have both enjoyed playing. tennis their whole lives and have a wide range of qualifications.

Coach Bill was Captain of his high school team at Rolling Hills and went on to play competitively in college. He became Captain at Cal State Long Beach and traveled the country with the team for tournament play. After college, he played on the ATP qualifier tour then spent 20 years as a Tennis Pro, teaching mainly at the Racket Club of Irvine and Anaheim Hills.

Coach Davis has a degree in Psychology and Leadership Development from Chapman University and has taught Envirmonmental Science for two years. The combination of their skills in tennis and teaching has nurtured the EHS tennis program, more than doubling the size of the women's and men's teams since their tenure.
