Chuck Pitts enters his first season as an assistant coach with the Claremont-Mudd-Scripps men's soccer program in 2022. 

Pitts joins the Stags after spending the previous year as an assistant coach at Marymount California University in Palos Verdes, where he assisted in all facets of the coaching duties, including the planning, organization and delivery of training sessions, game day preparations, match analysis, scouting of opponents, and travel accommodations. He helped his squad to a 15-7-1 final record, including a 7-1 mark in the CalPac conference.

Marymount Caifornia also had a successful postseason in 2021, winning its NAIA regional championship with victories over No. 3 Mid-America Christian and No. 18 Vanguard, advancing to nationals where they eventually fell to No. 10 Columbia (Mo.) College. 

Pitts also brings experience coaching at the club and high school levels to his new role at CMS. He has been an assistant coach with Redondo Union High School for the last two years, helping the squad to a 2022 CIF Southern Section Championship and a 17-6-2 overall record. He also worked with the JV program at Brentwood School for two seasons (2017-18), helping his squads to back-to-back undefeated seasons and a combined 28-0-2 record. 

At the club level, Pitts has worked with the Beach Futbol Club in Manhattan Beach from 2020-22, where he planned, organized and facilitated all the day-to-day responsibilities of the B2013 and B2011 youth teams. 

Pitts played collegiate soccer at the NCAA Division II level Humboldt State from 2011-15, where he led the Jacks in goals scored as a junior and a senior. He earned first-team All-Conference and NSCAA/Continental Tire All-West Region Third Team honors in 2014, and served as team captain in 2015.

After graduating from Humboldt State with a degree in communication, Pitts played for the Puget Sound Gunners FC of the PDL in 2015, and then for the L.A. Wolves of the UPSL from 2016-18, where he played for former U.S. National Team member Eric Wynalda and led the team in scoring twice. The Wolves earned a 2017 USPL National Championship, as well as capturing the Cal South Amateur State Cup and Regional Cup before placing third at the 2017 National Amateur Cup in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
