More About Coach Ally
I have experience coaching all ages and skill levels! From kids who have never picked up a stick before to current NCAA college field hockey players. I am currently the Varsity Head Coach at Hopkinton High School and was previously the Varsity Asst. Coach for Foxboro High School where I helped lead the 2016 team to a South Sectional Championship and 2X Hockomock League Champions (2016 & 2018). I have also been a Head Coach for the Bay State FH Club for the U19 team. Where we compete at a handful of National Showcases and Tournaments. I was a USA Field Hockey Futures Coach for 7 years coaching at the U16 and U14 level. Earning my Level 2 USA Field Hockey Coaching Certification. I have attended the USA Field Hockey Coaches Summit and NFHCA Coaches Conferences to expand my knowledge. Lastly, I am the owner and head coach of Dynamics Field Hockey Summer Camp for the past two years in Foxboro, MA.
I am a 2013 graduate from Worcester State University where I was a 4-year starter playing in the Little East Conference (NCAA Div.III). Named captain of the 2012 squad and finishing with the most points (goals+assists) on the team playing in the midfield. I was invited to play for USA Athletes International 2013 Field Hockey Team, where we played against international teams in Edinburgh, Scotland. Leaving me with incredible experience playing against some of the best teams in the world.
Each session will be individually catered for each athlete. Sessions will have an emphasis on offensive and defensive CORE SKILLS as well as more advanced skills that the athlete can learn! Proper mechanics and repetition are what make the athletes that I work with so successful. I will provide a variety of lessons from goal scoring, elimination skills and ball speed to field vision, defensive positioning, and footwork. I bring a lot of energy, motivation and experience to each practice.

Ally was my daughters Club field hockey coach for 3 years. The environment Ally creates is a nurturing, positive, uplifting experience. My daughter has a love of the sport that exceeds other interests and whether she decides to play on the collegiate level or just play through high school, Ally has paved the way for success at any level! Through playing for Ally, my daughter has advanced her skills, she has developed lasting friendships, and she has gained confidence both on and off the field!
