as well as her efforts with the regular club workouts. Mary has been the head coach
of the 10 and under group for the Copperfield Dolphins for the past 4 years. Mary
has experience coaching soccer and grew up playing soccer, practicing judo and
swimming. She is active in her church teaching Sunday school to high school kids as
