Boys Tennis Program Description
Costa Boys’ tennis has been a consistent contender in league play for many years and our tennis program has advanced to CIF playoffs every year for the last fifteen years. 2022 was a huge year – the Varsity team was CIF Division 1 Champions! The JV was
undefeated in their regular season and has had the #1 singles and #1 doubles in Bay League for the past three years. Costa players have gone on to compete at the university or college level, and several former Mustangs are currently teaching pros at major racquet clubs throughout Southern California.
The Mira Costa boys’ tennis team plays about twenty matches during the regular season which runs from February thru May. There are two levels: Varsity (around twelve to fifteen players) and Junior Varsity (fifteen to twenty players). Challenge matches are used to determine position slots for players. Most players will participate in each match.
The boys’ tennis program, coached by Allen Yap and Gianpaulo Von Nacher, stresses skill improvement, learning to handle competition, and the enjoyment of a life-long sport. Their goal as coaches is to help the players be the best people on and off the court and represent the school and community in a positive way.

Summer Program
A summer program thru MBX is coached by the Mira Costa Tennis Team Coaches and is for students that are seriously interested in trying out for either the Mira Costa boys tennis program or Mira Costa girls tennis program. Current players already on the JV or Varsity teams are also able to utilize this camp as training during the summer. It is not mandatory for those trying out for the tennis team, but this will allow our coaches to be able to spend time with incoming freshmen, help evaluate their skill level and offer training to help them improve their skills. This is also an opportunity for the incoming
players to spend some court time with the coaches currently involved with the Mira Costa Tennis Program.
Congratulations to our Seniors Josh Goldman, Dylan Hughes, Tarik Hossein, Christofer Nahlinder, Carter Ring, Anthony Sheu, and Aidan Tacinelli. Please come cheer them on along with the rest of the team at our last league match at Redondo on Monday April 22 starting at 3pm.
JV is undefeated, and Varsity is 6-2. Come out to watch our home match against Redondo March 28th! Congrats to our JV team for winning the First Serve Tournament against many Varsity teams! They played hard and represented Costa well.
