An educator first and foremost, a good communicator and a tenacious recruiter Chanda Stebbins just finished her 15th season as Head Coach of the Santa Fe Women's Basketball Team.  During her tenure at SF, the Saints have gone 215-214, won the Mid-Florida Conference four times and made the state/regional tournament nine times.  The 13 years prior to Stebbins’ arrival the Saints went to the State Tournament only once.  Previous to her start as Head Coach at Santa Fe, Stebbins served as Ruffian's assistant coach during the 2001-2002 season.  From 1997-1999 she also served as head volleyball and assistant basketball coach at P.K. Yonge School for two seasons. Stebbins received her bachelor's degree in Special Education in May 1997 from the University of Florida. During her coaching career at P.K. Yonge D.R.S. she also was a consultative counselor to students with disabilities before resigning to teach at Chiles Elementary School so she could train for a shot at professional basketball.  Stebbins taught at Chiles Elementary School for two years before an injury concluded her professional playing hopes and she accepted the interim head coaching position at Santa Fe.  Click here to read her full biography.
