Head Coach

Steve Jackson

Steve Jackson begins his first season as the Wolfpack head coach in 2009.  Prior to his position as head coach at Claremont, he spent the past 13 seasons coaching Little League, as well as travel, club and American Legion baseball.

Jackson started his coaching career after his senior year of college at the University of North Alabama. As an assistant coach, his main responsibility was handling the infielders, but he also assisted with catchers and base running. Jackson also spent a year with Chaffey College as an assistant coach, where he held similar responsibilities.  

He played locally for the Chaffey High School Tigers from 1979-1981, where they won the league in '79 and '80.  He was selected as honorable mention and all-league as an infielder, and voted team captain by his peers.  He went on to play at Chaffey College for the next two years, earning defensive player of the year and finishing in the top 10 in the state for stolen bases in his sophomore year.

Jackson was recruited to play at the University of North Alabama and helped the school win its first-ever Gulf South Conference title and its first invitation to the NCAA Division II Central Regional Tournament.  He earned defensive player of the year for the two years that he played as a middle infielder for the Lions.

Jackson works full time as a division chief for the Montclair Fire Department, where he is responsible for the supervision of emergency medical services and training.  An Upland resident, he is married to Michele (Henry), a Claremont High graduate, and has four sons: Steven, Kyle, Troy and Tyler.

Coach Bob Smith (University of Redlands, 1974) enters his second season as the Wolfpack head junior varsity coach.  He spent 12 years (1990-2002) coaching youth, club, travel and high school fall leagues in the Claremont area. 

Smith, 54, is a 1970 graduate of San Dieguito High School in Encinitas, Calif., where he pitched and played third base and outfield for the Mustangs.  He went on to pitch and play first base for the Mira Costa Junior College Spartans, earning all-league honors his freshman year before undergoing elbow surgery his sophomore season.  Smith continued his playing days at the University of Redlands, where he was a closing pitcher for the Bulldogs.  

He earned his A.A. degree from Mira Costa in 1972, his B.A. in accounting from University of Redlands in 1974 and his M.B.A. in business with an emphasis in marketing from San Diego State University in 1978.

Both Derek and Robby were four-year members of the Wolfpack baseball program, and Robby was a member of the 2005 league championship and CIF-SS Division II semifinal team. 

Smith is currently self-employed as a refrigerator broker for Claremont Freight Services, a company that transports fruits and vegetables across the country.  When he isn’t working, he can be found at the high school running the scoreboards for all levels of the football, basketball and wrestling programs.  Smith previously served as the scoreboard operator and announcer for the baseball program for four years until accepting the JV baseball team coaching position last year.  He enjoys golfing in his “spare” time.
