Erica Storey

Field Hockey Experience: 

Erica played for West Chester East High School from 2013-2017 and helped lead the Vikings to reach the farthest in state playoffs that the program had seen in over 10 years. During this time, Erica also coached and reffed for K-8th grade with Fast Flicks Field Hockey.

As she entered her college years, Erica decided to go beyond the role of player. In the fall of 2017, Erica and two friends started the Liberty University Club Field Hockey Team (LUCFH). On this team, Erica served the roles of coach, administrator, treasurer, advertiser, coordinator, facilitator, and player all at the same time. This collegiate club team became immediately recognized by the National Field Hockey League. Within less than 7 months of starting, LUCFH placed 4th in the nation out of 100+ teams by their high level performance at nationals. LUCFH was also invited to play a local NCAA school with a 20-4 season record. In that game, LUCFH secured a 4-1 victory while maintaining possession for almost the whole game, crushing the stigma that collegiate club teams can’t be “as competitive” as NCAA teams. The club has since then reached many more incredible milestones and is still running today.

In the fall of 2022, Erica coached freshmen and sophomores at the Academy of Notre Dame de Namur in Villanova, PA.

After being trained by former USA Field Hockey Olympians in the spring of 2023, Erica received her USA Field Hockey Level 1 and Level 2 Coaching Certifications.

In the summer of 2023, Erica joined the Gwynedd Mercy Academy Field Hockey Staff and will serve the role of Assistant Varsity Coach for the fall 2023 season.

Professional Experience:

Erica is a licensed real estate agent and teacher. Erica earned her Elementary Education Degree with a Social Studies Cognate during her time at Liberty.  She has used these skills to acquire teaching experience in places all over the world, including Dubai, New Zealand, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, and Hawaii. These experiences working with youth all over the world have helped shape Erica into the coach she is today.

“I want my coaching to push girls to reach their maximum potential through consistent feedback, critique, demonstration and motivation. I believe that coaching should be a source of mentorship for girls both on and off the field and should challenge them to work hard while also creating an environment where they can continue to grow in their love for the sport and have fun.”
