Courtney Steinbock

Courtney Steinbock was named the sixth head coach in Arkansas women’s tennis history by University of Arkansas Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics Hunter Yurachek on June 4, 2018.

One of the rising stars of collegiate tennis, Steinbock came to Fayetteville from the University of Houston, where she was head coach the last three seasons from 2015-18.

Steinbock led Houston to a 20-4 record in 2018, just the program’s seventh 20-win campaign in 41 years and coached two student-athletes to American Athletic Conference All-Conference Team honors. The Cougars went undefeated at home for the first time since 2006 at 14-0 and were ranked as high as No. 49 in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association rankings.

Prior to Houston, Steinbock spent two seasons at Oklahoma State from 2013-15, helping the Cowgirls compile an impressive 49-15 record during that span.

A graduate of the University of Kansas, Steinbock also spent three seasons (2004-06) as a volunteer assistant at her alma mater and two seasons (2006-08) as an assistant at Washington State. During her tenure in the Pacific Northwest, the Cougars were ranked as high as No. 39 in the ITA national rankings and qualified for the 2008 NCAA Championship.

A native of Lubbock, Texas, Steinbock was a four-year letterwinner with the Jayhawks from 2000-04. She was named team MVP each of her last two seasons and earned First Team All-Big XII Conference honors as a junior.
