COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - USA Field Hockey has announced a well-balanced staff that has been appointed to volunteer coach within the women's Junior High-Performance (JHP) program for the 2018-19 season. Temple field hockey associate head coach Roz Ellis was named an assistant coach for the Women's National Development Squad.
"I am very grateful for the opportunity to work within the USA Field Hockey Junior High-Performance program," said Ellis. "A big thank you to Janneke Schopman and Phil Edwards for selecting me to this position. I'm excited to collaborate with (head coach) Marc Hardy and (assistant coach) Mark Atherton, creating a competitive and challenging atmosphere for the development squad in order to push them forward to the senior team."
"We want to thank everyone who expressed interest in the volunteer coaching roles for the JHP teams," said Janneke Schopman, U.S. Women's National Team Head Coach. "There were a lot of good candidates and knowing that these coaches are willing to volunteer to coach our athletes in the Olympic Pipeline shows great support for our programs and what we are trying to achieve."
Ellis joined the Owls as associate head coach in May, 2015, and has been instrumental in Temple's training and recruiting. The program has earned two BIG EAST Tournament berths in her three years, advancing to the tournament final in 2015.
She spent the 2014 season at Louisville, where her duties as an assistant coach included serving as the director of recruiting, as well as assisting with practice and game day preparation and assisting in developing relationships within the field hockey community.
Prior to her stint at Louisville, Ellis spent three seasons as an assistant coach at the University of Massachusetts and served as a volunteer assistant coach at Wake Forest in 2010. Following the 2009 season, Ellis took her playing and coaching skills to Dublin, Ireland, where she competed for the Old Alexandra Field Hockey Club.
