Justin Miles is entering his second season as the head coach of the University of North Georgia men’s tennis team and fifth season as a part of the UNG tennis coaching staff. 
 
Miles spent his first three seasons in Dahlonega as the assistant coach for both the men's and women's tennis teams. In a groundbreaking move from the UNG athletic department, he was promoted to the Nighthawk head men’s tennis coach in June 2025. 

In his first year at the helm of the men’s tennis program, Miles led the Nighthawks to a 13-9 overall record and an undefeated 8-0 mark at the UNG Tennis Complex. In the postseason, North Georgia advanced to the Peach Belt Conference Tournament Semifinals and punched their ticket to the NCAA Tournament. During the 2025-26 season, Miles also coached four all-conference players and an ITA All-American in Pedro Liborio. 
 
Prior to his head coaching duties, Miles quickly earned recognition as one of the best assistant coaches in the country. In 2024, he was named the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) National Assistant Coach of the Year and ITA Southeast Region Assistant Coach of the Year after helping guide the women’s tennis team to the NCAA Tournament Elite Eight. 
 
Miles has worked very closely with both men's and women's tennis programs at UNG and was an integral part of their record-breaking success. The Nighthawks went a combined 99-41 (.707 winning percentage) in the three seasons with Miles serving as an assistant coach.  
 
Miles arrived at North Georgia after serving in the private sector as the Director of Tennis at Glen Kernan Golf & Country Club in Jacksonville, Fla. He has 15 years of experience both coaching and playing NCAA Division I tennis with his previous coaching stops including Jacksonville, Georgia Southern and Morehead State. 
 
At Jacksonville, he served as head coach of both the men’s and women’s programs before they were discontinued in 2012.  

Prior to his time on the First Coast, Miles was the head men’s tennis coach at Georgia Southern for nine years. Under his direction, Miles compiled a 75-122 record with the Eagles while guiding them to the Southern Conference Tournament Quarterfinals in seven seasons. He also coached two Southern Conference Freshman of the Year recipients and multiple All-Southern Conference players. 
 
Miles graduated from and played collegiately at Eastern Illinois where he earned his Bachelor of Science before receiving his Master’s in Sports Administration from Morehead State. 
 
He has also maintained a United States Tennis Professional Association Top Level Elite Tennis Teaching and Coaching certification since 2012.
