Welcome to the Home of the Mighty Banning Pilots Tennis Teams!
We're incredibly
excited to bring you the latest in Banning Pilots Tennis news. After many years of struggle, the team has recently been
on the upswing with both the Boys team making four consecutive trips to the playoffs, and the Girls team making five
consecutive trips since 2006. Most recently the boys advanced as far as the quarterfinals in 2008 & the girls made
it all the way to the semi-finals in 2008. Both teams have also received multiple berths in the individual
tournaments in both singles and doubles, with several doubles teams advancing deep into that tournament, producing two pairs
of "sweet sixteen" appearances for the boys, four pairs for the girls, and there have also been four
girls named to the C.I.F. L.A. City Section All-City Team, who advanced all the way to the final eight (two in 2007, two more
in 2010). Moreover, we're proud of the academic success the teams have had. Since 2004, the gentlemen have had a
95%+ eligibility rate with three successive seasons of 100% eligibility from 2009 to the present. Meanwhile the girls
have had a 100% eligibility rate in every year from 2004 to the present, with the exception of 2009 (95% - lost 1 JV player).
