We are pleased to welcome Jim Moortgat to the High Point staff! Jim started in February 2022. His focus will be developing the new “Home School Prep” and “Home School Elite” programs. He will also be involved in the High Performance Junior program.
With over twenty years of collegiate tennis coaching experience, Jim has coached numerous All-Americans, won countless conference titles and Coach of the Year honors (National and Regional). He has four National collegiate titles and has coached both the men’s and women’s teams at schools such as Boise State University, University of Mobile and Samford University.
