Jeff Menaker

Menaker arrived on Grymes Hill after a second stint as head tennis coach at Lehman College. In between his tours at Lehman, he was director of tennis at Hofstra University where he coached the men's and women's teams to their highest win totals of the last 30 years. He led the Pride women to their first-ever win in the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) tournament.

Menaker also coached the men's tennis program at Yeshiva University. From 2010 until 2013, he built a roster that secured the first Skyline Conference title and the first NCAA tournament bid, in any sport, in the history of the university. 

A New York native, Menaker coached at Bronx High School of Science, where he helped lead the Wolverines to the 2015 PSAL girls' team championship while mentoring two National High School All-Americans and multiple New York City singles and doubles champions. He was honored in 2014 by the NYSPHSAA Section 1 Coaches Association with the Jim San Marco Award for Outstanding Leadership while coaching at Edgemont High School. Menaker coached five seasons at Stuyvesant High School, where he led the varsity girls to a 55-8 regular season record, three Manhattan/Bronx league titles, five straight Mayor's Cup appearances and a spot in the 2009 PSAL Championship match. 

A graduate of Skidmore College, he walked on for the Thoroughbreds in his freshman season. While studying abroad at the University of Adelaide, he was captain of the Lincoln College tennis team and later served as coach of the Lincoln men's basketball team. Coach Menaker earned his Master's degree in Strategic Communications from the University of Iowa. Menaker lives in Westchester with his wife and three children.
