Rich Bradley begins his ninth year on staff at Spring Arbor University.
Bradley has been a part of SAU bowling from the beginning and has been instrumental in elevating the programs to new heights. After leading the Cougar women's team to back-to-back Crossroads League championships in 2021-22 and 2022-23, he was recognized as the Crossroads League Coach of the Year in both seasons.
Bradley began his bowling career at the young age of five years old. His love for the sport continued to grow over the years and, after teaching his children to bowl, the transition to coaching others seemed inevitable.
After coaching two seasons at Western High School in Parma, Michigan, in 2013 Bradley moved on to be the assistant boy's and girl's coach for the successful Vikings of Jackson High School. While coaching for the Vikings, he has helped coach individual State qualifiers at both the Division I and Division II levels. He was also instrumental in leading the Lady Vikings to several first place tournament wins, back-to-back regional championships and a runner-up finish in the Division II State Championship.
Bradley and his wife, Emily, and their two children, Morgan and Keegan, reside and bowl in Jackson, Michigan.
