Now entering her sixth season as the Cerritos College women’s tennis head coach, Rosanna Chatman has led her teams to the South Coast Conference championship in four of those years. Last season, she guided them to the conference championship with a 9-0 record and a berth in the Southern California Regional Team Playoffs. Although they were defeated in the first round by Cuesta College, the team finished the year with a 15-4 record. She opened her career with the Falcons by winning back-to-back SCC titles for the first time in school history and also won the title the last two years. She has led four of her teams to the Southern California Regional Playoffs and in her five seasons has a combined record of 58-20 overall and 37-4 in conference action.
    Once again, Chatman brought in a strong group of freshmen to compliment the returning players. Chatman spent one season as an assistant coach under Terri Button before taking over as the head coach. Now in the lead position, Chatman has been able to put together a strong team each year and brings 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 while formed one half of the team’s top doubles duo as a sophomore. Upon graduation, she received a scholarship to play tennis at Cal State Dominguez Hills. From 1998-2006, Chatman was also the girl’s varsity tennis coach at Cerritos High, where she led them to seven Suburban League championships and an overall record of 144-20. 
    Chatman has three sons – Daniel (11), Michael (9) and Aaron (7).
