More About Coach Kirsty

I am an FA Uefa B (one qualification below the A license), NSCAA qualified professional football/soccer coach with 10+ years experience working in youth development in the United Kingdom, New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. I have worked with all ages from 4 years to adult and I am capable of developing technical and fundamental skills as well as improving players' tactical knowledge and understanding. I am confident in my ability to improve each one through my thorough knowledge and passion for the sport. I have coached in the WPSL, NPL, EDP and the WYSL leagues in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.

I played professional in the United Kingdom at college and professional club academy teams;
Swindon town ladies for 5 years, Aston villa also with the England ladies program. I played for Sky Blue FC in 2009 and continue to play for a New York Club team who have won the NWYS cup.
I received captaincy in college and awarded player of the year on 4 occasions.

Firstly, with my years of experience as an athlete and now many years experiencing coaching all ages and abilities, I have an incredible amount of knowledge of both on the field and off. Additionally, I am a Certified Personal Trainer and have my Crossfit Level 1 trainer qualification, so this is also a fitness advantage.
A typical session will always start with an injury prevention based warm up; ladder, footwork drills, hoops, hurdles and dynamic stretches.
Overall, all sessions are designed dependent upon the specific improvement requirement of each athlete.

Excellent coach! Experienced, efficient & encouraging!

Best coach the twins have had.

Kirsty was absolutely awesome! My daughter already improved her shot in just one session. She made her feel comfortable and was very kind. I would definitely recommend Kirsty to anyone whoโ€™s looking to get better!

Coach Kristy is amazing! My daughter said it was her best training session she has ever had. Saw improvement immediately during her first practice and as she starts to apply what she has learned her home practice is starting to see improvement as well. Coach Kristyโ€™s session exceeded my expectations ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ

Although I have only had one session with Coach Kristy, I can already say so many great things about her! For one thing, she is extremely enthusiastic about the sport, which in turn greatly impacted my play, and really motivated me! She is very encouraging which is a key quality every coach should have, yet a lot also lack. In our first lesson, she incorporated the perfect mix of footwork and conditioning that every player needs to practice in order to excel. I will definitely be continuing with Coach Kristy, as I feel she can really improve me as a player!

Kirsty is an excellent trainer. From the beginning of the first session I could tell she was very knowledgeable. Her evaluation of my daughters exceeded my expectations. In a matter of minutes not only did she know their strengths & weaknesses with soccer skills, but she was also able to fix something as basic as running skills. My daughters are already looking forward to their next session.!! Jill

I really recommend Kirsty. Very professional and responsive. My 18 year daughter (who plays competitively) really enjoyed her session with Kirsty. She thought the skills they worked on were very helpful. She will definitely work with Kirsty again.

Kristy was great! Very patient and helpful...great coach!

Coach Kirsty is the best! After only a few sessions, my son has already picked up new skills and begun incorporating them into his game. She has excellent approach - my son loves his sessions with her.

Coach Kirsty was amazing! She bonded with my daughter right away, making her feel comfortable and excited to learn. My daughter was struggling with her shooting skills-- and Coach Kirsty diagnosed the problem within minutes. Even better, my daughter had fun and can't wait to work with Kirsty again...

Coach Kirsty was great in this session and SO good with V. Really a good role model, as well, but more importantly, she was so good at talking to my daughter and getting the best from her. Simple instructions that got right to the point. Really impressed!

The best!! What a great experience my daughter had with Kirsty. From the moment they met I noticed my daughters body language change; she relaxed, she was receptive, eager, and listened to helpful advice. She learned some important corrections to help in her defender position. I wasnโ€™t sure how an individual lesson would work but Kirsty played the opposition so that my daughter could โ€œseeโ€ how it should look. Kirsty encouraged questions and when they popped up she was thoughtful in her answers. Both my daughter and I found Kirsty patient, encouraging and intuitive. With years of both professional play and private & team coaching Kirsty has an outstanding knowledge of the game which is only matched by her fantastic approach to teaching, to coaching, and to sharing her love for the game. She was simply delightful ! As a result I decided to book more sessions!

Coach Kirsty is excellent. She and my daughter connected right away which was so fun to see. She was quick to assess her skills and challenge her with new ones in an incredibly fun way. She followed up with a detailed practice plan until our next session. She is very talent soccer player and coach and I highly recommend Coach Kirsty.

Kristy is an amazing coach. She has an extremely high soccer IQ and is also very encouraging. I can't wait to have another lesson!

Kirsty coached my daughter's U10 soccer team. The team started as a hot mess - little to no passing or communication between players. They lost their first several games without scoring a goal. A friend of mine who coached HS girls to a state championship in PA predicted the team would never score a goal all season. But Kirsty turned around this team. She came o games with a huge whiteboard. She got the girls passing, playing positions better, communicating and playing with strategy. By the end of the season, they were winning some games and they had a great time. In addition to getting them to work together, Kirsty improved each of the girl's games. And the girls loved that they had a female coach as a role model. I highly recommend Kirsty as a coach.

Quote from my parent coach Laurie, of my premier team of 3 years; 'You are so smart and have been such a great role model for all of our daughters. You nail every before game, half time, and end of game talk, always saying all the right things and getting it spot on and always so detailed oriented, remembering even the smallest thing that happened on the field! Your dedication and love of coaching and the girls shows through in everything you do.'
