On Tuesday, March 29th, at 9:00am, the Village Tennis Center had its Ribbon Cutting Ceremony! The ceremony welcomed parents, coaches, and administration, including our Head of School, Gabriella Rowe, and Athletic Director, Dustin Embrey. The Village Tennis Center houses 6 courts, and it is truly a wonderful site to see, and an asset to our campus. “The Village School is excited to have a brand new Tennis Center on campus for our student-athletes and tennis programs to enjoy. We have also partnered with TGA in an effort to offer quality youth programs, clinics, and instruction, which will help our athletes develop their skills and enjoy our wonderful facility. We are excited to build upon the success of our programs.” -Dustin Embrey; Athletic Director

The boys JV golf team had their first tournament of the year yesterday at Quail Valley Golf Club. The Vikings are young this year, with 4 freshman and 1 sophomore on the team. In a tournament that consisted of predominantly Varsity teams and over 100 golfers, the boys were not overwhelmed by the moment, and played solid golf throughout the day. The team was led by 9th grader, and top 10 finisher, Sebastion A., who shot an 88 in tough, windy conditions. The Vikings team also had Amit K, Jincheng T, and Aidan C all shoot under 100. Abhinav P also struck the ball well and showed tremendous promise and ability. This is a very exciting result for the boys as it helps them gain confidence going into their next tournament. The future of the program certainly looks bright with these youngsters.

Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA) annually honors youth and high school sports coaches throughout the United States, who embody the ideals of the Double-Goal Coach® who strive to win, while also pursuing the even more important goal of teaching life lessons through sports. The Village School’s Head Cross Country Coach, Scott Mastro, was recently named a Houston Chapter winner for Positive Coaching Alliance’s Double-Goal Coach Award. This was a tremendous achievement that spoke volumes about the impact Coach Mastro was able to have with his team. His impact was so great, that PCA felt that his accomplishments were so outstanding that Coach Mastro was named as 1 of the 50 National Double-Goal Coach award winners. Coach Mastro will be honored at the PCA convention in San Francisco, CA this April. Congratulations to Coach Mastro for this historic achievement and for his ability to better our student-athletes both on and off the field.
