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. |

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.

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 |
