KELLY
Pierce
Head Coach
Kelly Pierce returns as the club’s head coach for her third season after guiding FC Tucson to the 2021 Women’s Premier Soccer League (WPSL) Desert Conference championship.
A Tucson native, Pierce has won four 4A state championships as head coach at her alma mater, Salpointe Catholic High School. She was recently named Arizona Republic’s All-Arizona Coach of the Year across all classes.
Pierce had a sterling career as a player at Salpointe, where she was a four-year starter and helped the team to back-to-back state championships. She was also a first-team all-state selection. She then went on to play at Pima Community College and one season with the Sonoran Thunder of the WPSL.
“Our program should be a place for current college players to train, stay fit, and get competitive games during their off-season,” said Piece. “It’s also great for the community to get out and watch high-level women’s soccer. It gives little girls a chance to watch a positive female role model; something for them to shoot for in the future.”
