Men's Tennis

Adam Clark's tenure as The College of Wooster's 13th head men's tennis coach started on June 14, 2021.

Clark, just program’s fourth head coach since 1980, guided the program to its highest North Coast Athletic Conference Championships finish (fourth-place) since 2007 in his first year at the helm of the program. Clark now has 12 new outdoor courts on the northeast end of campus to aid with recruiting, while the Scots have regular access to a 48,000 square foot six-court indoor tennis club in Wooster and the ability to practice within the College's $30 million Scot Center, which has four indoor courts.

Clark arrived in Wooster following two years as the men’s and women’s assistant coach at NCAC rival Allegheny College. Among his duties there, Clark served as the recruiting coordinator and worked closely with coordinating and executing practice plans, student academic meetings, and visits with prospective student-athletes.

Prior to Allegheny, Clark assisted the men’s and women’s tennis programs at Trinity College (Connecticut). While with the Bantams, Clark helped the women’s program to a top-30 national ranking, with the team regularly competing against some of the top teams in the country, including several squads that are consistent national title contenders. Clark’s collegiate coaching career started at William Jewell College, a NCAA Div. II institution in Liberty, Missouri. While there, he also worked as a tennis professional at Northland Racquet Club in the outskirts of Kansas City.

A former Div. III student-athlete, Clark earned second-team All-Landmark Conference honors as a senior at Drew University. He spent three seasons playing in the top two flights in singles and doubles and won 60 career matches.

Clark graduated from Drew with a degree in political science and economics in 2016 and went on to earn a master’s from Trinity in public policy. Some of Clark’s research during his studies included a capstone project on Title IX and compliance issues with collegiate athletics. His thesis looked at equal employment opportunities for minority groups.
