Tim Link
Tim is a Bloomington native and has been a member of the BTT staff since 2017.
He played at Bloomington High School and earned several individual and team conference and sectional championships in the early 2000’s. His high school career culminated with a runner up finish in Doubles.
Tim continued his tennis career playing collegiately at Illinois State University from 2003-2007. After college he stepped away from tennis but his 3 young boys have helped him find his love for the game again.
Tim currently works for State Farm Insurance but finds time to help coach players at all age levels here at BTT. We enjoy having Tim’s experience and energy here to help guide players as they learn the game of tennis.
Ric Zamudio
Ric has a profound love for the game of tennis, and has led the IWU women's program for quite some time now.
He plays competitively on 4.5 USTA League Teams still today and enjoys sweating out singles matches.
Ric's son, Ricky, was a standout at BHS, prior to playing club tennis at University of Iowa, so you may see the two Zamudio's on court from time to time playing a little father/son doubles.
We are happy to have Ric's tennis knowledge at BTT!
Hannah Meece
Hannah is a native of Effingham, IL and was a high school standout prior to being recruited to play at Illinois State University.
After a standout career for the Redbirds, she was hired by State Farm Insurance and we were lucky enough to have her stay in the area.
Hannah has experience working with young kids, all the way up to adults of all ability levels and she is very knowledgeable about the game of tennis. Her passion and love for the game is quite obvious when you see her on court.
Hannah was also a member of the 2013 9.0 Mixed National Championship Squad as she teamed up with local 4.0 tennis legend Joe Rottman as they made a formidable tandem.
