About Tyler Smedley

Tyler Smedley is currently coaching our cross country and knowledge bowl teams and is now adding tennis! Tennis was the Smedley family sport growing up. Some of Tyler’s strongest memories of childhood are doing tennis drills at the courts in Odessa, as they spent almost every weekend playing. Coach Smedley was the manager of the high school tennis team in Odessa in his middle school years and participated in tournaments at the middle and high school levels growing up. Unfortunately, Tyler’s high school (in Tenino, WA) didn’t have a boys’ tennis team, so he participated in track instead. Tyler’s mom and sisters played tennis at the collegiate level. One sister coached tennis for Ellensburg High School for many years and his brother is the current tennis coach for Harrington. Tennis runs in their blood! Tennis is a lifelong sport which teaches grit, determination and the ability to persevere, it is so awesome! Coach Smedley invites all skill levels to turn out, from those who have never held a racket to those who are a little more seasoned.
