Stacey Branch is absolutely thrilled to be the TJ Girls Tennis coach. She earned a bachelor’s degree from
the Colorado State University and has lived in Southeast Denver for nearly 25 years. Stacey grew up
playing tennis in the summer, both for fun and with lessons and leagues. Stacey picked up the sport
again as an adult 17 years ago and has been involved in USTA ever since. She is an active part of the CAC
Monaco tennis community through USTA leagues, including 18+, 40+, daytime and mixed. She has been
playing at a 4.0 level for over 10 years. After spending more than 20 years on her career in corporate
America, Stacey is very much looking forward to now shifting her focus even more towards tennis. Her
goal in this role is to lead the team to be a supportive group of young women with a focus on leadership, good sportsmanship, having fun and playing great tennis!
