Shop Teacher featured on USTA website

Leo Reynoso, MCS shop teacher and tennis expert, was the subject of a feature article on the United States Tennis Association website. In the article, “Washington Heights Tennis For All,” it states:

“The Washington Heights Tennis Association, located in northern Manhattan, was the vision of a single man, Eligio (Leo) Reynoso. He started playing tennis in the early 1970s while still in high school when there weren’t too many avenues for a teenager from the Dominican Republic to get on a tennis court. Playing on concrete city courts under the George Washington Bridge, he worked himself up to be a first-rated competitive player.  He started teaching tennis to his youngest brother, Marcelino, who was eventually ranked fourth on the East coast. That was Eligio’s first inspiration. This inspired Eligio to realize that he had the potential and a special case to teach tennis to the Washington Heights Youth.”
