Before college, ToniAnn was a varsity captain at Voorhees High School and earned All-Area and First Team Skyland Conference honors. She also competed at a high level with FCUSA/Steel United, helping her team capture the 2020 EDP National League title. As a coach, ToniAnn has been deeply involved in Shooting Stars programming since 2021, leading youth clinics, summer programs, and team training sessions. Known for her ability to connect with players of all ages, she brings a player-first mentality shaped by her own journey through competitive soccer. She continues to coach and mentor the next generation with purpose, discipline, and a love for the game.

What qualifications you currently have?

I graduated from Nova Southeastern University in 2025, where I captained the women’s club soccer team and was named MVP. I’ve coached across multiple age groups since 2021 through Shooting Stars programs, clinics, and summer camps, and have experience developing and delivering both team sessions and 1-on-1 training.

What is your coaching experience?

I’ve coached with Shooting Stars since 2021, working with players from ages 6 to 15 in indoor programs, summer clinics, and tournament prep sessions. I’ve led youth training as a head coach and also supported older teams as an assistant, designing drills, managing sessions, and offering individual guidance.

Your most notable achievements?

As a player, I was fortunate to experience leadership and success at every level—from captaining the women’s club team and earning MVP honors at Nova Southeastern, to winning a Division 1 tournament title with Shooting Stars FC, and competing in the EDP National League with FCUSA/Steel United. As a coach, I’ve led youth programs, clinics, and training sessions for players of all ages. Each step has shaped how I now support and challenge young athletes to grow with confidence.

What is your coaching style?

I’m energetic, positive, and always focused on the player’s experience. I especially love working with younger players—their energy, enthusiasm, and pure love for the game are contagious. I feed off that excitement and try to match it with fun, purposeful sessions that keep them engaged while still building strong fundamentals.

What is your coaching philosophy?

I believe all players should be proficient and comfortable with the ball at their feet when under pressure, regardless of their position or level.  I am a firm believer that players should be encouraged to develop good decision-making and awareness early on with constant repetition in building their technical skill-sets and love for the game.

Why did you join Penn Prospects Soccer Schools?

I joined Penn Prospects because it’s a place where I can continue to learn and grow while being part of a supportive coaching community. It gives me the chance to keep developing as a coach, work with players who love the game, and make a real impact on their growth—both on and off the field.
