Meet Coach Bloomberg

Jeff Bloomberg enters his sixth year as head coach of the women’s tennis team at The College of Saint Rose. Bloomberg returned to the program two years ago after previously coaching the men’s and women’s teams from 1994-97.

The 2006-07 season marked the second for Bloomberg since the 1996-97 campaign, the last year of intercollegiate competition for women’s tennis before the college discontinued the program. Bloomberg led the Golden Knights to a 2-13 overall record and a 2-10 mark in league play.

Bloomberg came to Saint Rose after a two-year stint with both the men’s and women’s teams at Stevens Institute of Technology. His 2003-04 women’s squad produced an individual that recorded 17 singles victories, tying the school record for wins in a season. In his first season at the helm, he guided the men’s team to a 14-5 mark, earning the Skyline Championship. Bloomberg also coached the Skyline Conference Player of the Year that season.

Bloomberg was also instrumental in leading the Siena College women’s tennis program to national prominence during the 2002-03 season. While at Siena, Bloomberg took a team that had finished 10th in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) during the two previous years to the MAAC Championship Match. The Saints climbed into the Intercollegiate Tennis Association’s (ITA) national poll as the 71st ranked team among NCAA I institutions, the first time a Siena men’s or women’s tennis squad had been ranked by the ITA nationally and regionally.

Prior to entering the college ranks, Bloomberg was a highly successful coach at the high school level. He began his coaching career at Chatham High School where over a three-year span he led the boy’s tennis team to a 56-10 record. That mark includes leading the squad to an undefeated season and a sectional championship.

Two out of the three years he spent at Chatham, Bloomberg doubled as the girl’s tennis coach at Columbia High School. While at Columbia, Bloomberg took a program that had not won more than one match the previous season to the sectional quarterfinals.

Bloomberg is a USPTA Certified Teaching Professional and recently earned recognition from the association as a Level I Participant. He currently resides in Chatham, NY with his wife Joan.
