Meet the Head Coach

Dick Snyder took over as head coach of the Bellarmine boys tennis program in 1996. Under his guidance, the team has compiled an enviable record in Narrows League and post-season play. Bellarmine boys tennis has been undefeated in Narrows League play every year since 1996 and earned state championship title for the past four years (2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008).

In 1994, Dick co-chaired the fundraising effort to build the school's current tennis facility. The much-needed six new courts replaced the original three courts that were built in 1963. Dick, a financial consultant, is a lifetime tennis enthusiast, with a 4.5 USTA rating. He is a graduate of Western Washington University and has two grown children, Jeff B' 92, and Stacy B' 94.
