Coach Shaimaa Elsisi joined the team at Austin Tennis Academy in 2017 as one of our Academy coaches. Along with coaching our junior players, Coach Elsisi is also the Volunteer Assistant Coach at the University of Texas in Austin. She’s served in that role with the UT women’s tennis team for the past two seasons.

Coach Elsisi is a native of Cairo, Egypt, where she was one of the top-ranked junior players before moving to the United States to play college tennis. She played her collegiate career at Troy University in Alabama, and helped the Trojans to a winning record each year she played there.

After serving as a Graduate Assistant Coach for the men’s and women’s teams at Troy, Coach Elsisi moved on to a Head Coaching position at Hillsborough Community College where she stayed until relocating to Baylor University spending a year as the Volunteer Assistant Coach there.

In addition to being an accomplished coach and player, Coach Elsisi is an exceptional student. She holds her Master’s degree in Sports and Fitness Management with a concentration in Sports Administration and a Bachelor’s degree in Sport and Fitness Management with a minor in Recreation. She now applies this love of learning to her students here at ATA.
