Celebrating a decade of service to the GCU Club Tennis team, proud GCU alumnus Ed Prudhomme keeps building the program he helped start in 2014. The program was established in 2014 with only 16 members, but with the help of Prudhomme, has grown to nearly 60 members in 2023-24.

Prudhomme began his coaching career in 1993 when he served as director of tennis at the Paseo Racquet Center in Glendale. He not only holds an elite professional status as a member of the USPTA, but he also has won numerous sectional and national awards through the UPSTA and USTA as Facility Manager of the Year and Director of the Year.

Throughout his coaching experience, Prudhomme has worked with players of all levels, ranging from beginners to elite. He has coached high school and junior college teams as well as USTA sectional teams at national events. Many of his students have advanced to successful collegiate tennis careers.  Prudhomme looks forward to getting the most out of his current and new team members on the court.
