Anya and Talia are Pink Ladies alums who will be working with the club this winter. Talia ended her illustrious decade in pink as the Club's all-time leading goalscorer. Anya was a stalwart member of the organization's early teams and even has a tactical style named in her honor after she fought valiantly to play through injury at the national championships.
Both played high school soccer at Concord-Carlisle Regional High School, with Anya returning to serve as volunteer coach after college.
Anya studied and played soccer at William Smith College while Talia attended the University of Miami Ohio but was unable to play due to injury. Anya recently returned from a year in Senegal as part of her postdoctural studies, while Talia works in HR and coaching youth soccer clinics in Westford.
Gabby, Sofia and Jojo have grown up with the Club and now as high school seniors are excited to work with the younger players this season and impart the skills and passion they have developed over many years.
Jason Miller is the founder and director of Pink Ladies Futsal Club. He has been coaching futsal since its Massachusetts inception in 1999 and has won numerous league and tournament championships.
