The Hodgman Legacy
The Hodgman Tennis Academy continues the rich legacy of Dr. A. B. (Bert) Hodgman, whose passion for tennis shaped generations of champions. From founding the Hodgman Girls program in Kalamazoo to pioneering indoor tennis facilities and junior development programs, his influence extended far beyond Michigan. His daughter, Susan Hodgman Anawalt, and many of his students achieved national No. 1 rankings, solidifying the Hodgman name in tennis history. Even after retiring, Dr. Hodgman continued coaching, ensuring his impact lived on. The Hodgman Tennis Academy carries forward this tradition, building on decades of excellence to inspire the next generation of players.
