Hi everyone! I’m coach Vanessa. I started playing soccer at the age of six. Ever since then, it has been a fundamental part of my life. It has helped shape me into the woman I am today, and I'm grateful for the lessons, friendships, athleticism, and memories this sport has given me. I couldn't be more excited to be a coach now and teach the new generations the beautiful sport that I hope will be as fruitful to them as it was to me growing up.
