About Our Coaches
Former Roadrunners All-American Josh Graetz took over as head coach of the MSU Denver men's and women's tennis programs in the fall of 2018 and immediately delivered, leading the women's team to a third straight Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference regular season title in 2019.
The women compiled a 13-10 overall record and won all three of their RMAC regular-season duals before falling in the RMAC Tournament finals to Dixie State. This past year he coached the RMAC player of the year and Academic All-RMAC, the RMAC Co-Freshman of the year.
Meanwhile, the MSU Denver men went 9-8, and had a player win the ITA’s Regional Senior Player of the Year award.
A native of Albury, Australia, Graetz enjoyed a decorated career with Metropolitan State University of Denver tennis program from 2013 through 2018, racking up a number of accolades. Graetz was named the 2014 RMAC Freshman of the Year after a brilliant 2013-14 season in which he recorded a school-record 24 singles wins. He followed his incredible freshman season by surpassing 20 wins in both singles and doubles competition in 2014-15, earning All-RMAC First Team honors for singles and All-RMAC Second Team honors for doubles.
Over the course of his playing career at MSU Denver as 2-time RMAC Player of the Year Graetz compiled a 90-30 singles record, going 68-20 in No. 1 singles. He had an 83-36 mark in doubles play, going 70-25 in No. 1 doubles. He was undefeated in RMAC competition during his final two years as a Roadrunner, earning a whopping eight RMAC Player of the Week awards throughout his time wearing the Red and Blue. He is the Roadrunners' all-time leader in singles wins and doubles wins.
He also received the prestigious RMAC Man of the Year award from the league office, an award that honors graduating student-athletes who have distinguished themselves throughout their college career in areas of academic achievement, athletics excellence, community service and leadership. MSU Denver also honored Graetz as the Male Senior Athlete of the Year for 2017-18.
Anna Hosking completed her first season as the assistant coach of the University of St Thomas tennis team in 2022-2023.
Hosking came to St Thomas following her senior season playing Division 1 tennis at Tarleton State University in Stephenville, Texas. Hosking helped lead the Texans to their most successful season in program history. Tarleton went 18-4 overall, 5-0 in conference play, and 10-0 against WAC teams altogether. The Texans were 8-1 at home, 5-3 in true road matches, and 5-0 in neutral site matches. The Texans would have been the No. 1 seed in the WAC Tournament, if not for their reclassification to NCAA Division I postseason pause.
Prior to her time at Tarleton, Hosking played two seasons for the Abilene Christian University Wildcats.
A native to Stellenbosch, South Africa, Hosking received a bachelors degree in Kinesiology with a minor in Business Administration from Tarleton State University in 2022. She is married to Reece Davidson, who threw shot put and discus for Abilene Christian University.

Tom B. - Parent My wife and I sent our son to this camp with hopes he would learn the basic fundamentals of tennis. Not only did he learn the fundamentals but he now has such a strong love for the game and is consistently asking me to take him down to our local courts. The experience my son Josh had at camp is one that we will never forget. We already can't wait for camp next year!
Michael C. - Camper I went to camp last summer with a few of my friends and it was the best week of my summer. I learned so many new skills and tactics all while having fun with my friends. I can\'t wait for more kids from my club to come to camp this summer!
Kyle D. - Parent My daughter has always been a talented player but lacked confidence in her matches. After her week at this camp, she looked like a whole new player; playing aggressive and confident while truly enjoying her time on the court. I credit this to the instruction she received from adidas Tennis camps; I look forward to seeing what next level of her game she reaches after her experience next year.
