Athlete-- Any player that has good sportsmanship & dedication to the sport, whether they are just starting out in a Team Challenge or they are a National ranked player we would love to hear who you would recommend from your team or facility. Click here to read about February's Athlete of the Month.
Volunteer-- A person that has gone above and beyond for your facility or program.

Jessica Reineke

Where do you volunteer?

Britton Chrisitian Church Tennis Academy

How long have you been volunteering at this organization?

10+ Years

Do you play tennis?

Yes. I love to play tennis.

Favorite tennis memory?

My personal favorite tennis memories come from college tennis. I loved playing at OU all four years. I have great team memories, and I loved bringing home that Bedlam Bell a few times! As a coach/volunteer/parent, our B.C.C.T.A. JTT memories are some of my favorites. We all work hard and value playing together as a team. I have also loved seeing our B.C.C.T.A. kids "grow up," mature, and become leaders within our organization and our greater community.

How long have you been playing?

My dad taught me to play when I was barely tall enough or strong enough to hold one of his old wood rackets. I have two hands on both sides modeled after Mark Johnson. That two-handed forehand also helped me hold on to the racket because I was young.

Who is your tennis coach?

When I want to drill, no one is better than Coach Bob (Braver).

Favorite Athlete?

Roger Federer

What is your favorite sport besides tennis?

I love to be outdoors! Pickleball, hiking, running, walking, watching my kiddos play their sports, or cheering on OU athletics.

What is your pre-match ritual or pre-match meal?

Chicken and pasta and lots of water!
