About the Team

Menlo School’s tennis program is among the most successful in Central Coast Section and state history. The Knights have won 14 CCS and 12 NorCal titles, including a seven-year run from 2009-2015. In 2010, the boys recorded the winningest single season in the history of Northern California tennis after going 27-0 overall, then winning league, CCS, and NorCal titles as well as the National High School All-American Invitational. The Knights have not lost a league match in 21 seasons.

About the Coach

Bill Shine

Bill Shine has been the coach of the girls’ and boys’ teams at Menlo School since 1996. During that time, his teams have won a combined 23 Central Coast Section titles and have never lost a league match. No other coach in San Mateo County history has been so successful, and only one coach in all of CCS sports has won more CCS titles. Shine topped the 400th victory mark in 2013. As a junior player, Shine earned a Top 10 ranking every year from 1962 to 1973. He was a four-time MVP at Los Altos High and a two-time CCS singles finalist. Shine was part of the CCS champion doubles team in 1971. In college at the University of Louisiana, Lafayette, Shine was named first-team all-conference in 1975 and 1976. Before coming to Menlo, he coached at Pinewood School and Los Altos High School.
