Getting to the Eastmont High School Tennis Courts
|
When driving to matches at the Eastmont High School tennis courts, please enter from 5th Street. There's a rear entrance with parking near the tennis courts and baseball field that may not appear on mapping apps. Most navigation systems will direct you to the front of the school on 3rd Street, which is a longer walk to the courts.
Avoid a long, sweaty walk—park on the backside of the school for the most convenient access. Click Here for directions to the Eastmont Tennis Courts from the WRAC on Google Maps.

MEET OUR TENNIS PROFESSIONALs...
SAM RECHTIN
RACQUET SPORTS DIRECTOR/HEAD PRO Born and raised in Wenatchee, Sam started playing at the WRAC as soon as he could run around with a racquet. After helping WHS win back-to-back state titles in his last two years of high school, he went across the mountains to receive his bachelors in Kinesiology from Western Washington University. After graduating, he started teaching at the Pine Lake Club in Sammamish where he not only built and oversaw the development of a strong junior program, but also worked with 2.5-4.5 USTA teams while teaching private lessons to both juniors and adults of all skill levels. After 8 years of instructing, he decided to go back to school, while continuing to teach, so that he could increase his understanding of how to best work with athletes. In February of 2021 he earned his master's in Sport Psychology. When he is not on the court, you can typically find Sam doing something outdoors, whether it be on the water, exploring the trails with his dogs, or enjoying some live music. After being on the other side of the mountains since 2006, he is excited to return home and bring his enthusiasm and expertise to the WRAC community. Contact Sam: [email protected] |
RYAN PARSONS
ASSISTANT TENNIS PRO Growing up in a tennis family with extensive roots in the game, Ryan began swinging a racquet at an early age. He began taking lessons at the WRAC with Charl Grobler at around age 6. Charl would go on to be the primary influence on Ryan’s game for many years. Ryan competed in multiple USTA Junior Sectional tournaments and traveled with the USTA Pacific Northwest Zone Team when he was 12 years old. He played for Wenatchee High School with multiple state showings. In his adult years Ryan competed with various 4.5 and 5.0 teams from around the state. After 10 years in the photography industry, Ryan is bringing his experience in customer service and client relations with him to the WRAC. In his spare time he enjoys a variety of outdoor activities including skiing, surfing, SUPing, climbing, hiking and mountain biking. Contact Ryan: [email protected] |
CLINT VIDANO
TENNIS & PICKLEBALL ASSISTANT PRO Growing up in the Wenatchee valley Clint has always been heavily immersed in the tennis world, first picking up a racket at age 4. He participated in tournaments as early as age 7, achieving a career high national juniors doubles ranking of 9. As well, he won the state title in back-to-back years in doubles in high school for WHS, being the first WHS tennis player to win state since 1969. His second state title was won partnering with Jack Rechtin, younger brother of our current Racquet Sports Director. He went on to play college tennis at the University of Idaho and Eastern Washington University. During his time at Eastern, he volunteered as the club coach for 2 years. After moving back to Wenatchee, Clint coached at the WRAC for more than 10 years, with many hours spent teaching elementary, middle and high school ages at all skill levels. In addition, he has experience and loves working with adults ranging from new players to established USTA competitors and teams. In his spare time he loves to do anything outdoors, especially going on long adventure hikes throughout WA state. You will see him dressed loud and proud on the courts with his favorite video game and TV show themed socks. He is extremely grateful to be back as a WRAC team member and hopes to once again bring a little fun and laughter back to his community. Contact [email protected] |

I love the WRAC because there is a sense of familiarity. Part of it is because I’ve been playing tennis here for several years, part of it is I know a lot of people who play tennis, and part of it is the tennis community nurtured at the WRAC is a good quality bunch of people that I enjoy being around. The WRAC is like a family. I can walk in the front door and feel welcomed, feel like I’m wanted. Whether I’m hanging out with my friends, or enjoying a mixer with the "old" people, I always have a sense of enjoyment. Almost a feeling of home. The WRAC facilitates an atmosphere of warm friendly people that encourages a family like bond between members… tennis is a gentleman's sport, a class sport, and having such an environment to be able to play in, just adds to the great taste of being able to enjoy friends and sport.
- Andrew Mesler The club is a great place to meet lots of people and almost all of them have a smile on their face which makes for a happy place! - Linda Beaty |
