CALDWELL COLLEGE HIRES BRUCE SIBLEY TO COACH TENNIS TEAMS

8-26-11
CALDWELL, N.J. - Caldwell College Executive Director of Athletics Mark A. Corino has announced the hiring of Bruce Sibley to coach the men's and women's tennis teams at Caldwell. Sibley has been a certified tennis professional for the past 10 years.

Most recently, Sibley served as the men's tennis coach at Young Harris (Ga.) College for two seasons, starting the program in 2008. Under Sibley, Young Harris quickly progressed from a new program to a nationally-ranked squad that ranked as high as No. 11 in the National Junior College rankings. A certified strength and conditioning specialist, he also was the strength and conditioning coach at Young Harris. Prior to his stint at Young Harris, Sibley was the boys and girls tennis coach at Charleston School for Math and Science in Charleston, S.C.

In addition to his coaching positions, Sibley was the Junior Tennis Coordinator and Teaching Pro at Radley Run Country Club in West Chester, Pa., and the Assistant Tennis Pro at Racquets in Medford, N.J.

"We are glad to have Bruce join our department and coach our tennis teams," Corino said. "He has the experience and the enthusiasm necessary to build our tennis programs, and we look forward to working with him this fall."

Sibley, who still plays tennis competitively, earned a degree in kinesiology from Charleston Southern University in 2009. A native of Shiloh, N.J., he is returning to his home state after living in Charleston, S.C. Sibley and his wife Becky have two children: Landon and Libby.
