Grand Forks Central announces Tom Wynne as boys tennis coach

Mar. 18—GRAND FORKS — Veteran tennis coach Tom Wynne will be at the helm of another Grand Forks Central program, the school announced Monday.

Wynne has accepted the head boys tennis coaching position. He also accepted the head girls tennis position in October.

The Central girls tennis season begins March 31.

Wynne began his tennis career playing for Serge Gambucci at Central, graduating in 1973.

Wynne played at UND, winning a North Central Conference title during his junior year.

Wynne coached tennis for the Grand Forks Park District and was the first employee at the Grand Forks Racquetball and Tennis Center.

Wynne coached UND men's and women's tennis for 35 years. He retired in 2021 from UND.

"Tom's experience of coaching tennis and his knowledge of the game is exceptional," Central athletic director Tony Bina said. "He has a passion to coach the sports of tennis and is excited to work with the boys high school team. The change from coaching college players to now coaching high school players is something he is looking forward to. He will be a great fit to carry on the success of our boys tennis program."

Wynne is a member of four hall of fames: North Dakota Tennis Hall of Fame, North Dakota Sports Hall of Fame, North Section Hall of Fame and UND Athletics Hall of Fame. He takes over at Central for Max Weisser, who coached the Knights for 17 seasons including the last 14 as head coach.

"I am looking forward to the opportunity to coach the boys program at Grand Forks Central," Wynne said. "It will be unique working with high-school aged players and their malleability to be coached. This will be a fun challenge coaching and teaching them the skills and concepts of tennis."
