Orinda's Connor Reardon of Weil Tennis Academy To Continue Play At Linfield College

Weil Tennis Academy and College Preparatory School Academy Founder and Director Mark Weil has announced that 18 Weil seniors have either signed early National Letters of Intent, or “officially committed” to continue their education and tennis careers at prestigious NCAA schools around the nation.

Weil’s Connor Reardon of Orinda, Calif., has signed with Linfield College in McMinnville, Ore on an Academic Scholarship. Connor is the son of Mark and Liz Reardon of Orinda.

“We're very excited to welcome Connor Reardon to the Linfield Wildcat tennis family,” said Linfield Head Men’s Tennis Coach Ben Belletto, who is in his second year as men's tennis coach at Linfield. “Connor had a great visit here and everything clicked, which is what you look for. I know that Connor's game is continuing to improve and develop, and I'm excited to see what he can do here as we continue to set ambitious goals with our program.”

Belletto came to Linfield in 2015 after a highly successful coaching career in Southern California, where he was head men’s tennis coach at Whittier College and Pomona-Pitzer Colleges for a combined 11 seasons, the majority of which was at Pomona-Pitzer.

Since 1997, Weil Tennis Academy and College Preparatory School in Ojai, Calif., has placed 100 percent of its students into top NCAA universities and colleges like Stanford, Duke, UCLA, Brown, Dartmouth, Johns Hopkins, Emory, Georgetown, University of Chicago, Pepperdine, Cornell, UC Berkeley, USC and many more, mostly on scholarship. At Weil, the coaches, teachers, students and families are all focused first on college academic and tennis preparation, then finally on aggressive college placement. The goal for every one of our students is to gain admission, study, and compete at the most prestigious colleges and universities in the U.S.
