LYNCHBURG, Va. - Randolph College Director of Athletics
Tom Galbraith announced Friday the hiring of Alex Dunzweiler as the new head men's and women's tennis coach of the WildCats.
Dunzweiler comes to Randolph after serving last season as an assistant coach at Guilford College, where he worked with the men's and women's programs while contributing to recruiting, player development, and practice planning. He had a key role in the development of the women's team's No. 1 singles player, who earned All-ODAC honors.
"Alex brings a wealth of teaching experience to this role at Randolph," Galbraith said. "It became clear through the interview process that his understanding of the game and ability to teach it at a very high level will transition well into full-time coaching."
The bulk of Dunzweiler's teaching experience comes in the private club industry. While concurrently assisting Guilford, he served as events supervisor and sports team lead at the Burlington (N.C.) Pickleball Complex since 2024. In that role, he was charged with developing instructional curricula, programming, and cultivating community partnerships.
Dunzweiler's private club tennis experience culminated by serving as head of junior development/interim director of racquets at Westwood Swim and Tennis Club in Winston-Salem, N.C. Prior to those roles, he served as an assistant tennis professional. While at the club, he managed tennis operations, directed junior programming, coordinated communications with members, and developed training opportunities for players of all ages and skill levels.
He also spent two years as an assistant tennis professional at Green Valley Swim and Tennis Club in Greensboro, N.C. During his tenure from 2021-23, he coached interclub teams, organized tournaments and member events, and expanded community partnerships to enhance programming and outreach.
"I first want to thank AD Galbraith for trusting me to lead the Randolph tennis programs," Dunzweiler said. "I am extremely honored, as this is a unique opportunity. The school and tennis programs are of such high quality. I am extremely excited to work with assistant coach
Kyrina Johnson and get started on a great season. Go WildCats!"
Dunzweiler is currently completing a Master of Public Administration at Wake Forest University with an anticipated graduation in August. He previously completed graduate coursework at Tulane University. He earned his bachelor of arts in Political Science from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte in 2017.
