University of Redlands Head Men's and Women's Tennis Coach Mike Longanecker announced Michael Harmon as the new assistant coach for the men's and women's tennis programs in 2025. Harmon came to the Bulldogs after serving as the Head Coach for men's and women's tennis at SUNY Oneonta in New York for the 2023-24 season. Prior to that he spent 2022-23 at Pacific Lutheran University in Washington where he was the Head Coach for both programs. Harmon joined Oneonta with extensive tennis industry knowledge and 15 years of coaching experience. In his first season with the Oneonta women's team, the Red Dragons went 11-11 with a 4-3 mark in SUNYAC play. Oneonta reached the SUNYAC Tournament Semifinals, with three players being named All-SUNYAC. On the men's team, Oneonta went 11-11 and 2-1 in the WIAC. The Red Dragons had one player named All-WIAC. Before Pacific Lutheran, Harmon served as the assistant coach for Mesa Community College in Arizona, where he led practices, recruited student-athletes, and enhanced the overall educational development of the students. He also worked with the top juniors in the Southwest at the Players Academy in Scottsdale, AZ with five going on to play at the collegiate level. Four of which played Division I and one who went Division III. From 2009-11, he was the head coach at St. Pius X High School in Kansas City, Missouri. While at St. Pius, Harmon guided the Warriors to a 56-4 record. Additionally, Harmon created and implemented a workout and injury prevention program that collegiate coaches adopted for their teams. Harmon was the primary head tennis professional at the Clayview Country Club in Kansas City, Missouri, bringing in new members and maintaining the courts and equipment. A prolific college player, Harmon was a seven-time All-Saint Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SLIAC) selection at Westminster College and was named to the SLIAC All-Decade Team for 2000-2009. Harmon continues to play competitively and is one of the nation's top tennis players in his age group. Harmon earned a Bachelor's Degree in International Business from Westminster College (Mo.) and Queen Mary College of London (U.K.). As a collegiate player, Harmon played all four years for the Bluejays and led his team to four consecutive SLIAC conference championships which earned the team's first national ranking in the program's history. During that span, he only lost one singles and doubles match and was undefeated from sophomore to senior year. He holds a Master's Degree in International Business from Oklahoma City University. Harmon is also certified with the USPTA as a tennis professional.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I contact a coach?
If you’re looking to message a coach for the first time, go to their profile and click “Send a Message”. A type box will show, where you can enter and send your message. To follow up with a coach you've already contacted, log into your account and find the 'Inbox' tab. You'll see your message history and be able to send another note.
How do I book lessons?
Once you find a coach that fits your needs, go to their profile, select the package you'd like to purchase, and click 'Book Lessons'. Here, you can reserve your desired number of lessons along with the number of athletes who will be training. After sessions are booked, coordinate the dates/times for each session on your calendar - using the calendar is important since this is how your coach will get paid.
Can I pay my coach via Venmo or cash?
Paying AU coaches via cash, Venmo, or any 3rd party is strictly prohibited. AU coaches know this, but their partnership with us is to split all bookings 80/20 - so coaches keep 80%. We use our 20% to help them find clients & manage their business. Without the split, we wouldn't be able to help our coaches & community thrive!
What if I don't feel comfortable paying online?
We integrate with Stripe - the largest & most secure payment processor in the US - to facilitate bookings. Paying online is required, and it simplifies the process for our coaches since it helps track their schedule & earnings in one place. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our support team.
Where will the coach hold their lessons?
Each coach typically has at least one preferred training location. You can see the location(s) by going to your coach's profile and finding the 'Training Locations' section. If a coach doesn't have locations listed here, you can message the coach to see where they train. Some coaches are willing to travel to clients for lessons, or even meet halfway.
When is the coach available to train?
Each coach sets their own schedule for training. You can see a coach's general availability by going to their profile and finding the 'Availability' section - it will list the days and times. If a coach doesn't post their availability, or if your preferred coach doesn't have your desired times available but you want to double check, message them to see if they can work with your schedule.
What if I don't love the first lesson?
The AU guarantee (refund policy) has you covered! If you find yourself needing to cancel or adjust your booking within 24 hours of your purchase, just let us know. We'll provide a refund - no questions asked. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we're here to support your learning journey.
Do coaches work with both kids & adults?
Our coaches are open to helping athletes of any age and skill level. Please message your desired coach to ensure their skillset fits your needs.
Why should I trust AU and their coaches over other platforms?
AU was created by former collegiate and professional athletes. We understand the benefits of training with a private coach. It develops discipline, boosts confidence, and provides an undeniable advantage - whether you are just learning the game or looking to earn a college scholarship. All AU coaches are required to pass a thorough onboarding process and we proudly showcase a 10% acceptance rate, so you can trust you're training with the best.
At the end of the day, our mission is to provide athletes with better opportunities to succeed through coaching. You won't find a platform, and group of dedicated specialists, more excited to help you achieve your athletic goals!
