The boys' and girls' tennis teams hold all their home matches on these nine, easily accessible courts, located on Beech Street right across from the main entrance to Hill's campus and adjacent to the baseball field. In addition to the wind-screens that surround the courts, their location at the base of a hill helps shelter them from the wind. Convenient parking and benches for spectators on a small hillside next to the court make it an attractive place to watch tennis.
