CK Aces New Role as Tennis Coordinator

Now that Kim Steinmetz has stepped down from her position as the MAC’s Tennis Director, Scott Stutz is taking her place and Carolyn Kramer (CK) is the new Adult Tennis Coordinator. Kramer previously held the Tennis Communication Coordinator role. In her new position, she will manage the MAC Ladies Interclub program and organize many adult tennis offerings at the MAC, including special events, adult matchmaking and clinics.

Kramer has played tennis since she was three years old and moved to St. Louis when she was 10. In high school at St. Joseph’s Academy, Kramer helped the Angels win team State three out of her four years. She also won State in individual doubles her freshman year. She went on to play at Virginia Tech on a full-ride scholarship. She played top 6 singles and number 1 doubles for the Hokies. Kramer specializes in doubles and transferred to Mizzou in her senior year. There, she was part of a doubles tandem that was ranked #30 in the ITA rankings.

The new Adult Tennis Coordinator has coached tennis for over 20 years in multiple locations including The Hamptons. Before joining the coaching staff at the MAC, Kramer coached at Frontenac Racquet Club and Creve Coeur Racquet Club.

“I immediately felt welcomed with open arms since my first day,” Kramer said. “I thrive on the energy and enthusiasm for learning that the Members possess. Every lesson, whether individual and group, as well as every clinic has had eager Members wanting to be the very best tennis players they can be.”

In her new role, Kramer aims to bring all MAC tennis players together.

“I am committed to getting all adult tennis players to know one another,” she said. “We have so many wonderful groups of gals, and my aim is to bring them all together as a true team. I also want to create events for men and women to interact on the tennis court. Whether through Cardio Tennis or mixed doubles events, I would like for the adult Members to feel a true sense of tennis community at the MAC.”
