Bridget Schafer

We're excited to welcome Bridget Schafer as a coach for our Beyond Sticks summer camps!

Currently a freshman goalkeeper at SUNY Geneseo, Bridget brings her passion and fresh insights to our team. Highlights from her first year include learning from her teammates and adapting to a higher level of play, especially in shielding, marking, and spacing. Her "goalie buddies" have been instrumental in her transition, helping her see the game in new ways and maintaining a strong mindset.

Last year, Bridget contributed to our camps by assisting behind the scenes and in marketing and communications, with the occasional coaching role. Having attended Beyond Sticks camps herself, she was reminded of her love for field hockey and how to give her all to her team. These experiences have helped her grow, both on and off the field.

This summer, Bridget is eager to meet new goalkeepers and players, using her experiences to empower and inspire them. She believes in the importance of learning from mistakes and embracing individuality. Bridget's journey with Beyond Sticks has shaped her into the goalie she is today, and she looks forward to giving back to the program that has given her so much.

Join us this summer to learn from Coach Bridget and grow your game!
