As our Girls Director of Coaching, Taylor is grateful to be taking on a new role within the club, and eager for the opportunity to  build on the Holistic development foundation that's already there. Her goal is simple, for you to hear BVU and picture the best possible youth soccer experience for your child.

Taylor's purpose as a coach, and a director is to foster spaces that empower relationship building amongst not only coaches and players, but coaches and families to ensure that we are continuing to co-create; positive, inclusive and guided discovery type environments that challenge everyone in our community to continue to grow and become the best possible versions of ourselves.

Lalo greatly admires how players and parents take action in creating a positive athletic environment that is inclusive of all backgrounds.
