Francis Sargeant
Camp Director
Former Stanford and Cal assistant coach Francis Sargeant serves as Director of Tennis, overseeing the entire Upper and Middle School programs, and is Varsity Head Coach of the girls’ and boys’ tennis teams at Menlo School.
Just prior to coming to Menlo, Sargeant wrapped up his fourth season as men’s assistant coach for Cal, which went from No. 51 to No. 20 national ranking in 2023. He coached the team to the Round of 32 of the NCAA Championships and last season, to the Pac-12 quarterfinals .
Before Cal, Sargeant spent the previous several seasons coaching at Stanford. He was a volunteer assistant for the Stanford men’s team in 2020-21 when he helped lead the Cardinal to the second round of the NCAA tournament and a No. 2 national ranking. The season before, he served as an assistant coach for the Stanford women, which reached a No. 1 ranking. He was a volunteer assistant coach for the Cardinal men for the prior three years.
Sargeant, a native of England who was an all-conference selection and captain at BYU, first learned about Menlo tennis through a former college teammate who played for the Knights. “If his skill, attitude, and effort were any indication of Menlo’s overall greatness (which I’m sure they were), I cannot wait to hit the court with the Knights,” Sargeant said about his teammate.
