Chris Adams enters his sixth season at the helm of the women's soccer program at North Georgia College & State University. He is the third head coach in the program's nine-year history.

In 2007, Adams' team finished with a record of 7-9-1 and a birth in the Peach Belt Conference tournament.

In 2006, just their second season of competition at the NCAA Division II level last season, Adams led the Lady Saints to an 8-8-2 record and a sixth-place finish in the conference race. The Lady Saints also placed three players on the All-Conference team, the most in the program's history.

Adams led the Lady Saints to their first-ever victory as a member of the NCAA Division II, when they defeated Georgia Southwestern 7-0 on October 5, 2005. He later led the Lady Saints to the first-ever Peach Belt Conference victory, defeating the University of South Carolina-Aiken 3-1 on October 15, 2005.

Adams joined the coaching staff as head men's and women's soccer coach in 2003.  In two seasons at the helm of the men's program, Adams led North Georgia to a 19-17-2 mark and was named the Southern States Athletic Conference (SSAC) Coach of the Year in 2004. He led the Saints to a third place finish in the conference and their first NAIA Regional Tournament appearance in the program's history. As the head women's soccer coach, Adams guided the team to a 12-8-2 record in 2004 and a fourth place finish in the Southern States Athletic Conference, with a 7-4-0 record.

Adams began his coaching career in 1995 while an undergraduate at the University of Georgia (UGA), where he helped build the first women's soccer team. In the first year of competition, the Lady Bulldogs went 10-5-3 overall and posted a 3-3-2 mark in the Southeastern Conference (SEC). In his three seasons with Georgia, The Lady Bulldogs compiled a 39-19-4 overall record and a 14-8-2 record in SEC play.

Following graduation Adams took a job at Jacksonville State University (AL) as the head assistant coach. He returned to his hometown of Athens in 1999 to manage the soccer program at the YWCO. After directing the program for two years, Adams began teaching at Clarke Central High School in Athens, where he coached the boy's and girl's soccer teams, and taught health and physical education.

Adams received a B.S. degree, from the University of Georgia in 1998, in Physical Education and Health with a Coaching Emphasis.  He is currently pursuing his M.Ed. in Health at the University of Alabama. 

He holds a United States Soccer Federation (USSF) National “A” License, a USSF National Youth License, and a National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) Advanced National License.
