Entering her fourth season as the head coach, Rosanna Chatman guided her first two teams to undefeated South Coast Conference seasons before coming in second place last year. The back-to-back championships were the first for the Falcons in school history. She took her first two teams to the Southern California Regional Playoffs and in her three seasons has a combined record of 33-10. Two seasons ago, her team was ranked #4 in Southern California and reached the second round of the playoffs. Once again, she has brought in a strong group of freshmen to compliment the returning players. Chatman spent one season as an assistant coach before taking over as the head coach three years ago. Now in the lead position, Chatman looks to help strengthen the team from top to bottom after assisting Terri Button three seasons ago and bringing with her a familiarity of the program.

            Back in 1993-94, Chatman played for Button at Cerritos College and was the team’s #2 singles player and formed one half of the team’s top doubles team as a sophomore. Upon graduation, she received a scholarship to play tennis at Cal State Dominguez Hills. Chatman is also currently the head varsity tennis coach at Cerritos High, a position she has held since 1998.

            Chatman is married and has three sons – Daniel (9), Michael (7) and Aaron (5).
