Varsity Head Coach Bio

In his second year as head coach of the Pembroke Hill girls tennis team, Steve Hirtzel led his squad to capture the Crossroads Conference girls tennis title for the second straight year, a district title and a third place finish in the Class 2 State Championships, setting the stage for continued success. With his leadership and passion for the sport, the program is poised for an exciting future.

Originally from Branson, Steve developed a love for tennis in high school and continued playing competitively well into his 30s. He began his coaching career at Kansas City Lutheran before spending seven years as the top assistant coach at Barstow. Prior to joining Pembroke Hill, he led both the boys and girls tennis teams at St. Michael the Archangel for three successful seasons.

"I mandate two things of my players. We will represent our school in the most positive way possible and we will compete to the very end, no matter the outcome."
