Director of Tennis Steve Moore brought a wealth of experience and success back to the position at Texas A&M-Corpus Christi when he filled the position in 2006. Moore has been the recruiting coordinator at three schools that have reached the Top 25 nationally - Texas A&M, Texas Tech and SMU. Moore has taken 11 teams to the NCAA Championships as either a head coach or an assistant coach.

Moore is currently the ITA Regional Chairman over the Texas Region, and was recently selected to serve on the NCAA Men’s and Women’s Tennis Committee.

Since returning as Director of Tennis in 2006, Moore has been named Southland Conference Coach of the Year five straight years, has lost just one regular season conference match, and took the Islanders to NCAA Championship appearances in back-to-back years (2008, 2009) for the first time in school history. He also led the team to an NCAA appearance in the 2011 season. The Islanders average high NCAA ranking from 2007-09 was 36th nationally, the second-highest of any NCAA Division I-AAA (DI without football) team in the nation, second only to Pepperdine. Both the men's and women's teams also held above a 3.0 team GPA. In his fifteen years of coaching, Moore has coached six players who have been ranked Top 10 nationally in the NCAA singles rankings.

Moore has led the women's team to their most successful seasons in school history, reaching the Southland Conference tournament for the first time ever in 2009 and finishing as the No. 6 seed in the conference tournament, their then-highest ever conference finish, in 2010 for back-to-back appearances for the first time as well. In 2011, the team finished in a tie for fourth place in the Southland, continuing the trend of improvement each season, to go along with the third-straight conference tournament appearance.

Since becoming Director of Tennis, Moore has upgraded both programs in numerous ways. Under Moore's leadership, the programs have added three full-time assistants, the Thomas J. Henry Tennis Center, a new state-of-the-art facility on the Momentum Campus, purchased the rights to the prestigious HEB Tournament of Champions, added the Corpus Christi Women's Clinic spring team tournament for the women's team and added an officially-sanctioned NCAA fall tournament for the men's and women's teams. Moore has also raised significant funds from the Corpus Christi tennis community to benefit both teams.

In 1998, Moore left his assistant coaching position at Texas Tech to become the head coach at A&M-Corpus Christi and did what few coaches have done - start an NCAA Division I program from scratch. Moore coached the Islanders for three years, leading them to a 45-17 overall record and 15-3 mark against Southland Conference teams. He was one of the youngest NCAA Division I head coaches in the country at the time at the age of 26. Moore was also significantly involved in fund raising for the men's team.

The Corpus Christi native left the Island when he was offered the head women's coaching job at SMU in 2001. In his first year as head coach at SMU, Moore led the Mustangs to their highest win total and conference finish in 14 years - 16 wins and 2nd place in the WAC. The Mustangs reached a high ranking of #42 nationally. Moore's team went 19-11 the following year and undefeated in the WAC. His two-year total against teams in the WAC was 13-3. He also served as the men's assistant coach where he helped lead the Mustangs to the Final Four of the NCAA Team Championships in 2001. Moore's Mustangs also had the most improved team GPA in the entire athletic department.

Moore was also heavily involved in fund raising for the SMU tennis team. He raised the money to create a paid assistant coach position, a benefit the women's team had never had. Moore also started the Volvo Car Coach program for SMU, a partnership with Volvo of Richardson to give free loaner cars to the athletic department.

Moore left SMU to become the assistant coach/recruiting coordinator at Texas A&M-College Station in 2004. In his first year at A&M, Moore helped the Aggies reach the Sweet 16 at the NCAAs and a ranking as high as No. 9 nationally. A&M also signed the No. 1 ranked junior player in the United States. The Aggies also hosted the NCAA Championships that year and led the nation in attendance. After back-to-back NCAA appearances and back-to-back Top 20 seasons, Moore left the Aggies to return to his hometown and lead the Islander Tennis programs in 2006.

Moore played collegiately on a tennis scholarship at North Texas and Abilene Christian. While at ACU, Moore was nationally ranked in singles and was team captain. He also competed on the professional satellite circuit after college.
