Ross Silverberg is set to begin his first season with the Amherst College women’s tennis program in 2025-26.
Ross comes to Amherst after serving as the Assistant Coach for Swarthmore College for the past two seasons. In the 2024-2025 season, Swarthmore won the Centennial Conference title for the first time since 2006. The team also reached the second round in the NCAA National Championships, which was its first NCAA appearance since 2007. Silverberg helped guide Swarthmore to a program-record seven selections to the All-Centennial Team. For these efforts, Silverberg was a recipient of the 2025 Centennial Conference Coaching Staff of the Year alongside Coach Loomis and was elevated to Associate Head Coach.
In his first season with the team, Swarthmore achieved a top-20 national ranking and reached the Centennial Conference Championship. Six individual players earned all-centennial recognition, including selections in First Team singles and doubles. The first doubles pairing qualified for the NCAA National Championships and ten individuals earned Academic Honor Roll.
Prior to joining Swarthmore, Ross coached the Cherry Hill High School East Boys Tennis team. In that role, Ross led the team to a top-10 state ranking and winning the South Jersey Group IV Title. Ross has coached numerous players competing collegiately and has also instructed at the University of Pennsylvania Tennis Center, Philadelphia Country Club, Loomis Racquet Academy, and Berlin Voorhees Tennis Center. In the summer of 2025, Ross became Founder & Director of the Haddon Township Summer Tennis Camp.
Ross graduated from Franklin and Marshall College (F&M) in 2013, majoring in Government and minoring in Economics. He was the #1 singles and doubles player for the Diplomats and team captain. Additionally, he was one of only two Centennial Conference (CC) Player of the Year award winners in program history. He earned All-CC First Team honors on three occasions – which made him just the 15th in CC history to accomplish that feat at the time. Silverberg totaled seven All-CC accolades in his career with four singles awards and three doubles honors. He is tied for the F&M career leader in wins with a 66-22 record, while his 20-9 mark in 2013 is tied for the Diplomats' single-season record.
After graduating from F&M, Ross earned a law degree from Georgetown University Law Center and then completed a Masters in Education from Rutgers University. Ross has practiced law and taught Social Studies for multiple years.
