Mark Sikora

Head Coach

Coach Sikora will begin his third season as the Cobras Head Coach having compiled a record of (17-20-1) in his first two years. He has coached two NSCAA All-Americans (Patrick Mabeya 2006 and Eddie Sayon 2007).

With a good mix of returning players and talented freshman, this should be an exciting season for the Cobras. Sikora, who has his USSF “D” license, came to PC from Champaign Centennial High School where he had a record of 89-17-7 and led his Chargers teams to five Big 12 titles, three Regional titles, and two Sectional titles. Sikora also coached the girl’s team achieving a record of 100-14-7.

This year’s team is loaded with local players including six from Central-Centennial-Urbana and has a heavy Springfield influence with 9 players coming from Chatham-Glenwood, Rochester, Pleasant Plains, and Springfield High.

Sikora and his wife Nicole have two daughters, Isabel (5) and Chloe (4 months) and live in Urbana. Mark continues to teach at Centennial in addition to his coaching duties at PC.
