Director Jamie Tierney-Harris

Jamie Tierney-Harris is the Head Field Hockey Coach at the University of Mary Washington.
View Jamie's Bio ⟩

Jamie Tierney enters her fifth season at the helm of UMW field hockey. After she completed a successful season as her first in 2018, leading the Eagles to an 11-6 record and advancement to the Capital Athletic Conference Tournament semifinals, Tierney and the Eagles again advanced to the CAC semifinals in 2019 with a 7-11 mark, and after having the 2020 season cancelled due to COVID-19, led UMW to a 9-7 mark in 2021.

Tierney came to UMW from James Monroe High School in Fredericksburg. She led the Yellow Jackets to nine state tournaments in 14 years as head coach, including the 2017 Virginia state championship. She also brings a wealth of experience at the club level, having served as the head coach for High Voltage Travel hockey club in Fredericksburg, one of the top clubs in the country, since 2006.

"I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to be a part of UMW and the field hockey program", said Tierney. "The success of UMW student athletes both on the field and in the classroom reflects the competitive excellence and academic integrity valued by students and staff. I look forward to continuing this tradition of excellence and working with a talented group of young women."

Tierney was a four-year starter at Radford University, and has both played and coached for the USA Futures program, also having served as coordinator of youth programing. She has played internationally as part of the program as well, playing on the women's national indoor team. She holds a Level 2 coaching license from USA field hockey.

Her other experiences include serving as health and physical education teacher at James Monroe High School since 2015, with duties including coordinating lessons, fitness plans, and activities to promote fitness and wellness.

She also served as co-director of Fredericksburg Field House from 2006-13, where she handled aspects of daily operations including scheduling games and execution of all youth sports, camps, and clinics.

Camp Coach Hannah Fisher

Hannah Fisher is the DI Assistant Coach at Davison College
View Hannah's Bio ⟩

Hannah Fisher '18 joined the Davidson staff in April, 2022.
Fisher played for the Wildcats from 2014-17 and was a sophomore on the 2015 team that reached the Atlantic 10 Tournament.

"I couldn't be more excited for Hannah to join our group,” said head coach Zoe Almquist. “As an alumna of Davidson, she is uniquely equipped to prioritize academic achievement, support social and emotional development and chase athletic excellence without compromise. Her time as an assistant at Central Michigan will give us important markers in our own program's development, and her experience playing in the A-10 Tournament will help us lay the foundation to take Davidson field hockey back there. I'm so happy Hannah is here."

Fisher spent the last four seasons at Central Michigan, first as a graduate assistant, then as an assistant coach and, most recently, as interim head coach.

“I want to thank Zoe Almquist, Scott Applegate and the Davidson Athletics administration for this opportunity,” said Fisher. “I'm incredibly excited to return home to a place that made such an impact on my life and am honored to be back at Davidson College in a new role. I know firsthand the dedication and motivation it takes to be a student-athlete at Davidson. I believe in Zoe's vision for this program and the ability of the team to be top competitors in the A-10. It's a privilege to say I'm a Davidson grad who can now be part of developing and inspiring future student-athletes. I was fortunate enough to be a part of the team that competed in the A-10 championships and am excited to work with Zoe to bring this team back there.”

A midfielder, Fisher was a regular in the Wildcats’ lineup for four years, making 56 starts, scoring 15 goals and finishing with 39 career points. She led the Wildcats with seven goals and 14 points as a senior, after totaling six goals and five assists (17 points) as a junior. She scored a hat trick at Colgate on Oct. 16, 2016 and was an A-10 All-Rookie Team member in 2014.

“Thinking about coming back to my alma mater brings up memories of resilient overtime wins, intense A-10 rivalries, lasting friendships, team family competitions and adventures in new cities,” said Fisher.

Fisher’s ties to Davidson go beyond her own academic and playing career. Her sisters Sarah (field hockey) and Becca (soccer) were also Wildcat student-athletes.
Camp Coach Miranda Rigg

Miranda Rigg is a former Women's National Team player and DI Assistant Coach at Longwood University.
View Miranda's Bio ⟩

Rigg joined the Lancer staff as an assistant this past spring after coaching stops at La Salle, James Madison and Mary Washington in addition to an illustrious playing career that features international experience, caps for the national team and a decorated collegiate career. In addition, she has coached for multiple years at the club level.

Now, she brings those lessons learned to a Longwood field hockey program that is coming off its most successful season since joining the Mid-Atlantic Conference (MAC) following a run to the tournament championship game in November.

"I am excited for Miranda as she takes over our field hockey program here at Longwood,” said associate athletic director Austin Shaver. “She had a phenomenal career as a player and I believe is at the beginning of what will be a great career as a head coach. She knows Longwood and this team, which puts her in a great position to build off the foundation laid by Iain and the momentum within the program."

Rigg spent the spring with the Lancers, learning under former head coach Iain Byers, who stepped down as the head coach earlier in the summer as the winningest coach in program history.

She came to Longwood from La Salle University in the Atlantic 10, where she served as an assistant, and she also was a coach at the Mainline Mayhem Field Hockey Club at the same time.

That experience came on the heels of her USA Field Hockey Women’s National Team experience from 2020 to 2021. During her time as an athlete with the national team, she earned two caps while playing in the 2020-21 World Championships. In addition, she finished ninth in the FIN pro league. When she was not competing for Team USA, she worked as a volunteer assistant at Mary Washington.

She began her coaching career while still in school at James Madison, where she served as a student assistant. Her coaching experience began after a playing career that saw her go down as one of the top players in JMU history. She finished eighth all-time in goals scored and seventh all-time in points. She was a three-time All-CAA First Team selection, a three-time preseason All-CAA Team selection and a two-time CAA All-Tournament selection. She was named to the NFHCA First Team All-South Region once while earning a pair of NFHCA Second Team All-South Region honors.

“I am excited for this opportunity to continue to be able to be a part of the Lancer family and lead the Lancer field hockey program,” Rigg said. “I would like to thank Austin and the rest of the Longwood Athletics Department leadership and staff for believing in me and my vision for this program. Iain has done an amazing job growing this program over the years, and he has been and will continue to be a mentor for me. After spending the spring with this team, I believe we have tremendous potential. I am excited to start getting to work for this fall season and be back in action on the field very soon.”

Rigg graduated from James Madison with her bachelor's degree in sports and recreation management with minors in general business and coaching education in 2020.

For general questions about our field hockey camps please see our FAQ page.

TEAM DISCOUNT

If you have a group of eight or more campers registering for the same camp, each camper is eligible for a discount. Please have someone contact the US Sports Camps office at 1-800-645-3226 with the names of each camper in the group and we will create a unique discount code for your group. Campers may then register individually through the website at their convenience and apply the offer code during check out. *Discount amount varies by program. Please call for details.

SCHOLARSHIPS

We cannot offer scholarships due to NCAA regulations. Our affiliation with NCAA coaches and schools puts us in a position where any scholarship money can be seen as an inducement to a future collegiate athlete. This puts our coaches and our host universities in jeopardy of damaging their status with the NCAA and incurring penalties at the hands of their organizing body.

Camps are open to any and all entrants, limited only by number, age, grade level and/or gender.
