Elizabeth Henderson’s life in tennis started by being No. 1 in numerous junior age levels in USTA Southern before being recognized as an All-American at the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga.
She started her collegiate coaching odyssey at the University of North Carolina, followed by her first head coaching job at William & Mary. That led to a four-year stint as women’s head tennis coach at the UT in Knoxville.
She was inducted into the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame in 2011. For more than 30 years she has focused on her true passion: teaching young players at the Peninsula Club in Knoxville.
