Sidney Kimble has recently come to Holmes Community College’s Goodman Campus as the fitness center/intramural director.
Her parents, Todd Kimble and Audra Love Dean, both worked at Holmes for many years as did her grandparents, Bennie and Jo Kimble. Todd attended Holmes as a student and was a successful basketball coach winning three state championships and is a member of Holmes Sports Hall of Fame. Audra taught business classes and worked in the eLearning Department at Holmes and served as the cheer and tennis coach. Bennie Kimble also served as basketball coach prior to Todd taking over the reins, and Jo was a math instructor, and both retired from Holmes. Her great grandfather, John Clark Love, Sr. also served on the Holmes Community College Board of Trustees.
“I am so excited to be a part of the Holmes family,” Kimble said. “This campus has created many fond memories for me over the years. My parents, grandparents, and great-grandfather left their mark here, and I am thrilled to continue the legacy.”
She has many goals in her new job. “My goal for this program is to excite and motivate the Holmes family to set goals, be active, and step outside their comfort zone,” she said. “Intramural activities give students an opportunity to try new things, meet new people, and be active. When I was a student, I found that the intramural program was a place for everyone. The Fitness Center creates space for the entire Holmes family to achieve their fitness goals.”
The Fitness Center hours are Monday-Thursday, 12-6 p.m. with faculty/staff hours going from noon-1:30 p.m. each day. So far on the intramural side, she has developed 7-on-7 football on Wednesday nights and 4-on-4 basketball on Monday nights.
