Bolton joins the Rebels after two years at Centre College
OXFORD, Miss. -- Ole Miss Women's Tennis and head coach Mark Beyers have announced the hiring of former Centre College coach Brad Bolton as the new volunteer assistant for the Rebels.
Bolton spent two seasons with the Colonels in Danville, Ky., where he guided the squad's top player to a No. 43 ranking in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA)'s rankings, a program first. Bolton also led the Colonels to their first-ever appearance at National Indoor Championships. During his first season in Danville, he coached the team's top duo to a No. 9 regional ranking.
"We are excited to have Brad join the program," Beyers said. "Having been an assistant collegiate coach, he understands what it takes for individuals and a team to be successful. There is no doubt his knowledge and passion for the game will rub off on our student athletes."
Prior to joining Centre, Bolton worked at various tennis clubs in the Chattanooga, Tenn., Atlanta, and Destin, Fla., areas.
"I am beyond excited and blessed for this opportunity to join this staff at Ole Miss. Coach Beyers has built an incredible program that is one of the best in the country. I am looking forward to getting starting and helping to build on that tradition."
Most recently, Bolton served as the teaching pro at Manker Patten Tennis Club in Chattanooga. While there, he conducted private lessons and group clinics with adults and juniors of all skills and levels, leaving a legacy of new and exciting training opportunities for members of all ages.
A native of Chattanooga, Bolton was ranked in the Top 20 in the Tennessee Junior rankings before starting his collegiate career at top-ranked NAIA program Tennessee Wesleyan and finishing at UT-Chattanooga.
When in Destin, Bolton spent several years at Bluewater Bay, working and training with various pros playing on the ITR Futures Circuit and up and coming collegiate players.
