Brad Jones was named Head Men's and Women's Tennis Coach at Brevard College in the Summer of 2019 and enters his sixth season at the helm of Tornado tennis.
Jones has led the Tornados to three-consecutive USA South Conference Tournament appearances on both the men's and women's side. The men's team won its first postseason match since 2010-11 under his direction in 2024, and the women racked up consecutive postseason victories in the 2021-22 and 2022-23 campaigns.
Jones arrived at Brevard College after spending the past two seasons as Head Coach of NCAA Division III Bethany College, located in Bethany, West Virginia.
In his last season at Bethany College, Jones led the men's tennis team to an 11-7 overall record and a 4-3 record in the President's Athletic Conference (PAC). His women's team finished 2018-19 with seven overall wins and two conference victories. In his first season as head coach at Bethany in 2017-18, Jones snapped a four-year losing drought before his arrival for the women's team en route to four wins, the most since 2011. On the men's side, highlights included guiding Bethany's Drake Berlin to an impressive 10-5 record in no. 2 singles.
Prior to his tenure at Bethany College, Jones was the Tennis Pro at Westwood Country Club in Vienna, Virginia. He also served as the Director of Tennis at the Darnestown Swim & Tennis Club in Darnestown, Maryland and the Assistant Tennis Coach at the River Falls Swim & Tennis Club in Potomac, Maryland.
Jones began his collegiate tennis coaching career in 2009-10 as an Assistant Coach and then Interim Head Coach at NCAA Division III Emory & Henry College in Virginia. His time coaching at Emory & Henry College was highlighted by a trip to the 2010 Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) Championship Quarterfinals by the men's team which finished with a 15-6 overall record.
Jones' first experience in coaching came on the high school level where he served as the Head Coach at Abingdon High School in Abingdon, Virginia. As a result of his success at Abingdon High School, he was named the 2009 Southwest District Tennis Coach of the Year.
An accomplished collegiate tennis student-athlete, Jones played at Emory & Henry College where he was named All-Conference as a senior in 2007.
Jones received a Bachelor's of Arts degree in Sports Management with a minor in Business from Emory & Henry in 2007 and later earned a Master's of Arts degree from the college in Community and Organizational Leadership. He holds a P2 Certification with the United States Professional Tennis Association (USPTA) and an Associate Instructor Certification from the Professional Tennis Registry.
