About Shawn
Shawn Cummings was born in Brooklyn and raised in Maryland. Throughout childhood, Shawn was very active. He honed his skills as a soccer player through his mid-teens but made the switch to tennis in high school. Having a solid base as an athlete made his switch to tennis rather seamless. Shawn played varsity tennis on his high school team for three years, earning him a full tennis scholarship while in college he played No. 4 singles and No. 2 doubles. Shawn began coaching in 2003. His first coaching position was at the club where he learned to play: Prince George’s Tennis and Education Foundation in Upper Marlboro, Maryland. Later, he was appointed the director of tennis and high performance head coach. At the same time, he was hired as the assistant coach at Bowie State University. In 2010, he moved to New York working as the director of QuickStart at Sporttime Syosset in Long Island where he ran a program of more than 400 10-and-under kids. He also accepted the position as head women’s tennis coach at Molloy College. After leaving Molloy, Shawn became the Head Coach at Pratt Institute for both men’s and women’s tennis. In his first year at Pratt, both the women’s and men’s teams won the conference championship. Shawn was also named coach of the year for the women’s team.
