Former Xavier swim coach joins CHCA coaching staff

Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy Athletic Director Matt Coleman announced today that Tassos Madonis will be joining the high school coaching staff.  Madonis brings over 35 years of coaching experience with him: 13 years coaching Xavier University’s Men’s and Women’s swimming team, and three years coaching swimming at Cincinnati Christian Schools.  Tassos also was the Assistant Director for Recreational Sports for four years at Xavier University, and was a team communications member of the United States contingent at the 2004 Olympics in Athens, Greece.  “I knew Tassos when I was Athletic Director at CCS, and was really impressed by his résumé, coaching skills and love for the student-athletes,” Coleman says.  “Tassos brings with him a passion for swimming and a passion to share his love of Christ, which makes him a perfect fit for CHCA.”

Madonis will be coaching at CHCA this winter while simultaneously carrying on his coaching duties at CCS.  Unorthodox? Yes – but CHCA is not the only school who will be trying this arrangement. “Other schools in our conference, including Seven Hills and Summit, share the same swim coach to a degree,” Coleman explains. “A swim meet is very different than a baseball, soccer or football game where coaches are on the opposite sideline – a swim coach selects his best swimmers to compete in an event for the fastest time and when the horn blows, the coach encourages all their student-athletes in that particular event.  CCS happens to practice before school and CHCA practices after school.  With this situation, both schools will still get their coach’s full attention.” 

One question that remains: what shirt will Coach Madonis wear during the meets? “I’m going to work with CCS on this and get some coaching shirts that have both schools’ logos on the same shirt,” Coleman says.  “I’m excited to work with CCS in this capacity and appreciate their willingness and cooperation to share Tassos.  Our schools are like-minded and this will be a great opportunity for both of us to take part in something special and unique.  This is a win-win for both schools.”
