coaches
While our coaches have their own unique styles, we are committed to teaching. Coaches Bergen, Kemp, Kozey and Maguire will return this summer along with our "college player assistant coaches". We believe that continuity is important. We are always looking for new ideas, but see value in returning coaches that are familiar with YOU.
