Stephen Schram joins Radford women's tennis this season as an assistant coach.

“RU’s tennis program is very fortunate and will benefit from Steve’s enthusiasm and experience that he has brought to us from both Wofford and Florida Gulf Coast as an assistant coach and player,” head coach Bruce Harrison said. “We are very excited to have Steve come to Radford.”

Schram, who recently became a certified USPTA teaching professional, joins RU after spending the 2006-07 season as the assistant for both the men’s and women’s tennis teams at Wofford College. While at Wofford, he was involved in the every day aspects of the tennis program, including travel and recruiting. He also helped guide the men’s team to a record number of victories in 2007.

A native of Norwich, Ohio, Schram is a 2006 graduate of Florida Gulf Coast University in Fort Myers, Fla. where he was a three-year letterman for the Eagles. Before attending FGCU, he began his collegiate tennis career at the University of Charleston in 2001.

“Steve loves to work out and spends most of his days either on the court, in the gym or outside running,” Harrison commented. “He is going to push our girls to a new level of fitness.”

Prior to college, he was the assistant tennis professional at the Zanesville Country Club from 1999 to 2001. While attending Florida Gulf Coast, he worked an instructor at Tough Tennis Academy in Naples, Fla. He has also been an instructor at the University of Notre Dame tennis camp as well as the College of Wooster All-American camp.
