Lonnie Tvrdy

I have been a basketball coach in Tucson for the last 30 years.  I was the girl's varsity head coach at Pusch Ridge Christian Academy from 2003-2023.  During those 20 years, we experienced a lot of success on and off the court.  We were able to win four 2A State Championships in a row from 2005-2008.  As a 2A school, we played many 3A-6A teams and welcomed the challenge as a program.  I also served as Assistant Principal/Athletic Director for the past 17 years.

I have been married to my very supportive wife (Karen) for the last 37 years.  We have 3 boys (Caleb, Joshua, and Aaron).

I am honored to be a part of Premier Prep Online Academy (Tucson).  We not only get to coach these young men on the basketball court but the opportunity to mentor them off the court is unique in our model for education.  I look forward to gaining the trust and respect of our student-athletes and their parents.  GO VOLS!
