Book Private Field-hockey Lessons with Coach Ashley
I was the starting right midfielder this year for the University of Pennsylvania's field hockey team with over 6 years of individual coaching experience. Prior to my time in college, I captained and played for Shawnee High School as well as for WC Eagles and Futures. I have been coached by Olympians and other renowned trainers. I play and coach because I love the game and enjoy working with all levels of expertise. I develop personalized sessions based on the goals of the athlete. This ranges from high-level, regimented training for some, to simply extracurricular fun for others!

About Me:
University of Pennsylvania Field Hockey 2021 (Senior): I played in all 16 varsity games, starting in 15 as a right midfielder, for a total of 721 minutes. I finished the season leading the team in assists for the season.
University of Pennsylvania Field Hockey 2019 (Sophomore): I made 15 game appearances (out of 16 games), totaling 233 minutes.
Shawnee High School (2014-2018): I lettered four years in field hockey and served as team captain my senior year. I helped the team to three Group 4 Conference semifinals (2014, 16, 17). I currently rank eighth among scorers in school history. I was selected as second-team all-county (2017). I also competed in club play with the WC Eagles, bolstering the squad to back-to-back U19 National Indoor Tournament appearances (2016, 17), a U16 National Indoor Tournament appearance (2016), and a Shooting Stars Festival appearance (2015). I was selected for the National Futures Championships in 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017. I was selected for the Stars and Stripes Elite Team in 2016. I was also selected for and played in the Junior Olympics in 2016.
How I can help you improve your game:
As an Eagles Fan, I like to say that I have an underdog mentality. I never was an athlete that just had natural talent- I really had to work hard on my own to get good at my sport. That meant training on my own day after day, honing in on my skills. I not only can help your athlete add "tools to their toolbox" by teaching them unique and advanced stick skills, but I can also be a role model for your athlete by inspiring grit and perseverance.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
First, I always encourage athletes to inform me of any skills they would like to work on in the session so that I can incorporate them into a training plan. We will start with a warmup (no stick), then transition into a stick and ball warmup. Drills will start simpler and be more skill based. I like to work towards more complex drills in a session that build off of previous skills covered and reinforce ones that were taught in past sessions. I also love to incorporate fun skills that encourage your athlete to get creative and try something new! Sessions will vary depending on skill level and your athlete's goals, but all of my drills are derived from those that I've picked up from my amazing past coaches!
Career summary and accomplishments:
I was a volunteer coach at the Pinelands Indoor Tournament League (2014-2016) where I coached 4th-5th grade field hockey teams. I then conducted private training lessons for 4th-9th graders from 2016-2021. I led and coached at two high school field hockey clinics at Shawnee High School in 2017 and 2018, as well as at the Hazy Hot and Hockey Tournament in 2019. Finally, I was an assistant coach for 9th-10th graders at two University of Pennsylvania field hockey clinics. I have worked 1 on 1 with players as well as coached teams and groups of 20-25 athletes.
Best coach I ever had:
In high school, I joined the WC Eagles club team and trained with Jun Kentwell. Jun has high expectations for her players and pushes her students to reach their potential. She teaches not only skill but also how to improve self confidence and mental performance. She has an unmatched knowledge of the game as well as a passion for developing high quality athletes.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I have experience working with various ages and skill levels. Whether you are interested in just improving your ability or working towards larger goals, such as getting recruited for collegiate programs, I'd love to help! I also love when athletes come into sessions with certain skills in mind that they would like to work on; I'm able to incorporate requests into previously developed training plans so that athletes can get the most out of each session!

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I contact a coach?
If you’re looking to message a coach for the first time, go to their profile and click “Send a Message”. A type box will show, where you can enter and send your message. To follow up with a coach you've already contacted, log into your account and find the 'Inbox' tab. You'll see your message history and be able to send another note.
How do I book lessons?
Once you find a coach that fits your needs, go to their profile, select the package you'd like to purchase, and click 'Book Lessons'. Here, you can reserve your desired number of lessons along with the number of athletes who will be training. After sessions are booked, coordinate the dates/times for each session on your calendar - using the calendar is important since this is how your coach will get paid.
Can I pay my coach via Venmo or cash?
Paying AU coaches via cash, Venmo, or any 3rd party is strictly prohibited. AU coaches know this, but their partnership with us is to split all bookings 80/20 - so coaches keep 80%. We use our 20% to help them find clients & manage their business. Without the split, we wouldn't be able to help our coaches & community thrive!
What if I don't feel comfortable paying online?
We integrate with Stripe - the largest & most secure payment processor in the US - to facilitate bookings. Paying online is required, and it simplifies the process for our coaches since it helps track their schedule & earnings in one place. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our support team.
Where will the coach hold their lessons?
Each coach typically has at least one preferred training location. You can see the location(s) by going to your coach's profile and finding the 'Training Locations' section. If a coach doesn't have locations listed here, you can message the coach to see where they train. Some coaches are willing to travel to clients for lessons, or even meet halfway.
When is the coach available to train?
Each coach sets their own schedule for training. You can see a coach's general availability by going to their profile and finding the 'Availability' section - it will list the days and times. If a coach doesn't post their availability, or if your preferred coach doesn't have your desired times available but you want to double check, message them to see if they can work with your schedule.
What if I don't love the first lesson?
The AU guarantee (refund policy) has you covered! If you determine the coach isn't a good fit after your first lesson, let us know within 24 hours and you're eligible for a refund. We will also be happy to recommend another coach - be sure to contact our support team.
Do coaches work with both kids & adults?
Our coaches are open to helping athletes of any age and skill level. Please message your desired coach to ensure their skillset fits your needs.
Why should I trust AU and their coaches over other platforms?
AU was created by former collegiate and professional athletes. We understand the benefits of training with a private coach. It develops discipline, boosts confidence, and provides an undeniable advantage - whether you are just learning the game or looking to earn a college scholarship. All AU coaches are required to pass a thorough onboarding process and we proudly showcase a 10% acceptance rate, so you can trust you're training with the best.
At the end of the day, our mission is to provide athletes with better opportunities to succeed through coaching. You won't find a platform, and group of dedicated specialists, more excited to help you achieve your athletic goals!
