Tony Ciccarello assumed the head coaching duties of the Fredonia softball team in January 2014.
Ciccarello's pre-Fredonia teams had a record of 278-193 with 11 SUNYAC Tournament appearances. He was twice named SUNYAC Coach of the Year.
He spent 11 seasons as head coach of SUNY Geneseo (2002 through 2012). His Geneseo teams went 258-174 overall and he coached the 2002 Blue Knights to the program's first SUNYAC title -- resulting with an appearance in the NCAA Division III tournament.
Ciccarello was named the SUNYAC Softball Coach of the Year in each of his first two seasons (2002 and 2003) at Geneseo. His 2003 and 2005 teams won ECAC Upstate Division III softball titles.
In 2013, Ciccarello left his part-time position at Geneseo for a full-time position at SUNY New Paltz. He coached the Hawks to a 20-19 record -- including an 11-7 mark in the SUNYAC. The Hawks qualified for the conference tournament for the first time in three seasons and their 11 conference wins were the most since the 2008 team won 13 games.
While coaching softball at Geneseo, Ciccarello worked as a physical education teacher at the St. Agnes School in Avon, N.Y., from 2005-12.
Prior to coaching in college, Ciccarello spent 17 seasons as the girl's varsity softball coach at Webster High School, leading the Warriors to two Section V Class A championships (1988 and 2001) while being named Monroe County Coach of the Year in 2001.
Ciccarello earned his Bachelor of Science in physical education from The College at Brockport in 1979 and received his Master of Arts in education/curriculum and instruction from the University of Phoenix in 2006.
His duties at Fredonia will include facilities management in the Department of Athletics & Recreation. Â
