Head Coach
Girls 11 Navy-Tempe

A message from Coach Nat:
I’m excited to get back into the gym and work with the 11U team this year. I have coached for 12 years, mostly all at EVJ, from 11s-16s. I will focus on teaching the important fundamentals of the game. Building a solid foundation, especially at this age, is critical for their future growth. And it's so much fun to watch them develop, grow, and improve through the season at this age. I also want to teach them the importance of good sportsmanship, on their own team as well as with their opponents. Be a great teammate, learn to be disciplined, learn to work hard, but most importantly learn to love the game, those are my goals for the girls this year.
