One of Chattanooga’s longest-tenured basketball coaches is stepping down to take on a new role within the Chattanooga Christian School athletic department.
Laura Cottrell, who has coached the CCS girls’ varsity basketball program for the past 16 years, has resigned from that job and will be taking over as athletic director for both lower and middle school athletics.
“This position comes with a lot of opportunities that I’m excited for,” said Cottrell, who has worked at the school for a total of 18 years. “I’ve been at CCS for a long time and this will allow me to really pour into the overall athletic program, to help influence the culture for our athletes and not just the girls’ basketball program.
“We have new leadership at our head of school, our upper school principal and our athletic director and they created this role with a vision for what the future of athletics at CCS can be. I’m really excited to get to be a part of that plan.”
