Kris has been a full-time coach at Stamford Indoor Tennis, after serving at Norwalk Fitness Club as assistant director and junior coordinator. He played in college at Niagara University, and graduated with a BA in business and sports management.
At Staples Kris was a 3-team state doubles champion.
“First year is going to be tough,” Kris told Inklings. “But if (the players) can trust me, I think it will be good. Also, being around kids before and being around a championship environment in Staples will definitely make the 1st year easier.”
The Staples athletic department includes a number of graduates who have returned to their alma mater to coach. In addition to boys soccer head coach Dan Woog, junior varsity coach Ross McGibney and Chris O’Dell, the list includes:
- Bruce Betts (boys volleyball)
