Jeffrey Splinter begins his second season as a graduate assistant coach for the Frostburg State tennis program in 2017-18.
Last year, Splinter helped the men's team double its win total from the previous year and led the women's squad to more than triple their win total from the 2015-16 campaign. The teams posted a combined 11 wins which is tied for the 2nd most since Frostburg entered the CAC. The squads improved in every major statistical category and won 32 more individual matches than the previous year.
Splinter came to Frostburg after serving as an assistant tennis coach at Millikin University in Decatur, Illinois for two years. During that time, he was the recruiting coordinator for the program, helped create daily practice plans and developed strength and conditioning programs for the team. In his two years, he helped coach the men’s team to a 26-17 record and the women’s team to a mark of 21-12.
Before heading to Decatur, Splinter was an assistant tennis coach and intern at The College of New Jersey for one year. While at TCNJ, he helped both the men and women’s tennis programs reach the second round of the NCAA Division III Tournament.
Splinter was a team assistant for Judson University from 2013-14 and has served as the head of the tennis department for Camp Walden since 2012.
Splinter earned his bachelor’s degree in elementary education from Judson University in 2014. He plans to pursue a master’s degree in educational leadership while attending Frostburg State University.
