LYNCHBURG, VA – Lynchburg College recently named Jason Page as its interim men's and women's tennis coach for the 2011 spring season. Page served as an assistant for the Hornet programs last season.

Page was born in Lynchburg and attended high school at Lynchburg Christian Academy where he played tennis for two years.  He earned his undergraduate degree in sport management from Liberty University in 2001 and teaches business education in the technical education department at Heritage High School.

 Page coached high school tennis for eight years.  He passed his USPTA Certification Exam at the Professional 1 level - the highest level possible.  He also participates in USTA League Tennis and local tennis ladders. 

Several of his high school players have moved on to play tennis at the college level.  In addition to coaching high school, he has also worked part-time during the summer at Wintergreen Resort giving private lessons, group lessons, adult clinics, junior clinics, and assisting with academies. 

"I am excited about the challenges ahead and look forward to working with this group of players," said Page. "We have a lot of work to do to get better and reach our goals; hopefully we will embrace the challenge as a team and work as one unit to reach our individual and team goals."

The Hornet women's team is scheduled to begin play Saturday, February 19; the men open their schedule at home against Randolph-Macon College Feb. 28.
