Congratulations to Head Coach Amanda Boyer for being named the 2011 recipient of the California Coaches Association Rookie Coach of the Year. The CCA gives Coach of the Year recognitions to each sport in the state of California, but only awards one Rookie Coach of the Year. This award gives much deserved recognition to Amanda’s coaching excellence and her professional contributions of time, service, and dedication to the profession and athletics.

After coaching at the Junior Varsity level for three years, this past season was Amanda’s first year as Head Varsity Coach. Amanda will be presented with a plaque at the 54th Annual CCA Awards Banquet, held on June 11 in Sacramento, CA.

Amanda attributes the success of this past year to the tremendous amount of support given by her husband, Jason Boyer; her family; her mentor, Devon Kelly; her Assistant Coach, Judy Schaefer; her amazing team; the NHHS Athletic Department; and the Newport Harbor Field Hockey Boosters, families and fans.
