Coaches

Anya, Elsa 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. Elsa came to the Pink family later than most but became an outstanding player and leader.

All three 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 and Elsa attended UCLA where she was a member of the varsity crew team. Anya recently returned from a year in Senegal as part of her postdoctural studies, while Talia works in HR. Elsa is seeking a biomedical reseatch role and getting into coaching. 

The captains have grown up with the club and now are excited to work with the younger players this season and impart the skills and passion they have developed over many years.
