Holland High School tennis coach Kyle Kreps steps down

Kyle Kreps has stepped down as Holland High School boys and girls tennis coach.

Kreps, who played tennis and swam at Holland, coached at his alma mater for 11 years.

“After 11 incredible years coaching the boys and girls tennis teams, I’ve made the heartfelt decision to step down. This was not an easy decision, but I believe this will be the right time for this change to occur as I take on a new role with HPS,” Kreps wrote in a letter to the team.

Kreps will be the assistant principle at Holland Middle School.

He has been named Regional Coach of the Year multiple times and led the program to several state tournament appearances.

“Coaching at Holland has been an incredible journey and I’m grateful to have lived out a dream of mine. The opportunity to work with such dedicated student-athletes and supportive families has been a privilege that I will always hold dear. The memories made on and off the court are ones I will carry with me forever,” he wrote. “What I will cherish most are the relationships – the bonds formed with players, the shared commitment to reaching our potential, and the desire to always put the team first. Helping our players develop not only as tennis players but as people was always the ultimate goal.”

Holland High School Athletic Director Blake Muller said the search for Kreps’ replacement has begun. Those interested in applying can email Muller at bmuller@hollandpublicschools.org.
