Coach Gretchen Rush brings a wealth of experience and expertise to the court as a former professional tennis player and accomplished collegiate athlete. A standout competitor on the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) tour, she amassed 191 singles wins and 193 doubles wins, highlighted by quarterfinal appearances at prestigious tournaments like the US Open, French Open, Wimbledon, and the Australian Open.
In 1988, she was a mixed doubles finalist at Wimbledon. Representing the United States at the 1984 Olympic Games, she achieved a career-high ranking of 13th in singles and 16th in doubles.
Coach Rush’s collegiate career at Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas, was equally impressive. A four-time All-American and NCAA Division I doubles champion, she twice reached the finals in NCAA singles and doubles. Her senior year was capped by winning the Broderick Award as the nation’s top collegiate tennis player. Under her leadership, Trinity made four Final Four appearances.
After retiring from professional tennis in 1992, Coach Rush transitioned to coaching, sharing her knowledge and passion for the sport. She has served as an assistant coach at San Diego State University, head coach at Our Lady of Peace High School, and head coach at San Diego City College and Claremont-Mudd-Scripps. From 2015 to 2020, she returned to her alma mater as the head coach of Trinity University’s tennis program.
Shelly Stillman-Scott, a USPTA-certified tennis professional and certified Pickleball pro, has over 30 years of teaching and coaching experience. A San Diego native, Shelly was the first woman to receive a full tennis scholarship at the University of Virginia, where she played #1 singles and doubles and qualified for the NCAA singles tournament as a freshman.
Shelly began her teaching career with Peter Burwash International at the Royal Lahaina Resort in Maui and has coached in Kalispell, MT; Monterey, CA; and San Diego, CA. Alongside her husband, Bill Scott, she has run Adidas and Nike Tennis Camps at UC San Diego and the University of San Diego since 1991.
Passionate about sharing her love for tennis with all ages and skill levels, Shelly’s achievements include junior rankings as high as #12 nationally in singles and #2 in doubles, and adult rankings of #7 nationally in singles and #1 in doubles in the 45’s division. After working at Wintergreen Tennis from 2017 to 2022, Shelly returns to the team with her wealth of experience.
