Todd Wojtkowski, Head Men's & Women's Tennis Coach - Case Western Reserve University

Todd Wojtkowski is the Head Men's and Women's Tennis Coach at Case Western Reserve University. Wojtkowski spent the past two seasons as an assistant coach at NCAA Division I The Citadel after spending two years on the nationally-ranked Ohio State Buckeye men’s tennis team. He helped the Bulldogs to their first ever NCAA Division I national tennis ranking this year. The program finished 2-18 during the 2006-2007 season and 16-9 this past year. The Youngstown, Ohio, native spent three years playing at the University of Toledo before transferring to Ohio State. As a scholarship student-athlete at Toledo, Wojtkowski was a three-time Varsity T award winner, Team Leadership Award winner and team captain.

He redshirted his senior [first] year at Ohio State, playing for the Buckeyes during his first year of graduate school. The team won a Big Ten Championship and rose to a No. 5 national ranking that season. Wojtkowski earned several awards, including the Ohio State Scholar Athlete Award, the 2006 Senior Leader Award and the Men’s Varsity "O" Post-Graduate Scholarship. Wojtkowski earned his degree in middle childhood education in 2006 from Ohio State and completed an MBA at The Citadel in 2008.

Todd Wojitkowski is one of the top young tennis coaches in the nation. In addition to his enthusiasm and knowledge of the game, Todd is a relentless worker who never takes short cuts. He will spend extra time with young players to ensure they are making the type of strides in their games that both parties are striving for.
I also feel that he runs one of the best camps in the midwest. He is fun, positive and personable. Kids love him.

• Beginners: The beginning level player will be introduced to the basics of the game. Emphasis will be placed on stroke production and the technical aspects of the swing in an effort to teach these young players sound fundamentals from the ground up.
• Intermediate: Intermediate level players will also focus on fundamental stroke production (to insure proper technique),but will also be in put into game play situations to introduce these players to the competitive side of the game.
• Advanced: The more advanced players will work with stroke production in a competitive environment, but will also be introduced to the basic strategies of the game.
• High School / Tournament: Varsity high school and tournament players will focus primarily on the strategic and competitive aspects of the game.
