Head Coach
Kyle apperson
Kyle Apperson is the Mustang Tennis head coach starting 2021. For the previous fourteen years he was a part of the winning tradition of the Wichita Rider tennis program where he was able to shape numerous young players into state contenders, most notably Connor Curry who won the Boys Singles State title in 2014.
Apperson himself graduated from
Rider, as did his children. "There are
not many places I would have left
Rider for," he says, "but Grapevine
was at the top of that short list."
Prior to coaching, Apperson put his outgoing personality and people skills to use in the restaurant business, but in 2005 he was presented with an opportunity to coach tennis and never looked back. "I have loved every minute of coaching," he says.
Apperson and his wife,Cindy, have four grown children between them and four grandchildren ranging in age from four-months to eight-years-old. When he's not on the courts, Coach Apperson enjoys spending time with his family and doting on his grandchilden.
