Camp Coaches

Kayte Biordi

Camp Director

Kayte Biordi is the Pace University Head Field Hockey Coach.

Kayte Biordi

Camp Director

Kayte Biordi, who was named the Pace University head field hockey coach in February of 2016, is currently heading into her eighth season at the helm of the Setters in 2024. She has put together a superb record of 88-50 (.637 win percentage) during her time in Pleasantville.

After Pace's historic 2018 campaign, which featured a berth in the NCAA Division II Final Four, Coach Biordi led one of the youngest teams in the country to a record of 6-12 in 2019. Following the loss of 12 seniors, Pace's starting lineup featured seven underclassmen and no seniors.

Biordi was selected as the Northeast-10 Conference Coach of the Year in 2018 after leading the Setters to an 18-3 record that featured a regular-season NE10 Championship (13-0). Pace would later advance to the team’s first NCAA Tournament in November as the No. 3 seed, collecting their first-ever postseason win over Saint Anselm in the first round.

Under Biordi’s leadership, the Setters remained ranked in the National Field Hockey Coaches Association (NFHCA) Poll for 10 straight weeks and placed six players on NE10 All-Conference Teams. Three players—Paige Predmore, Halley Rose, and Jane Kasparian—were later named NFHCA All-Americans. Freshman goalkeeper Grace Henderson was anointed the NE10 Rookie of the Year after finishing the regular season atop the nation in wins and goals-against average. In December, Biordi and her assistants were named the NFHCA’s East Region Coaching Staff of the Year.

In 2017, Biordi was named the Synapse Sports National Field Hockey Coach of the Year after leading the Setters to a program-record 15 wins and the team’s first-ever Northeast-10 Championship Tournament berth. Coach Biordi’s team was ranked in the National Field Hockey Coaches Association poll for eight consecutive weeks in 2017, climbing as high as No. 6. Senior goalkeeper Lesly Sanchez Alvarez was named the NE10 Goalkeeper of the Year after ranking second in the nation in save percentage and goals-against average. Sanchez Alvarez and her senior defensive partner Margaret Maclean were both named to the NE10 All-Conference First Team, selected to the NFHCA Division II Senior Game, and appointed Synapse Sports Second Team All-Americans and NFHCA Division II Second Team All-Americans. Junior Paige Predmore was selected to the NE10 All-Conference Second Team, while freshman Lisette de Bruin was named to the conference All-Rookie Team.

In just the program's second varsity season in 2016, Biordi guided the Setters to a three-win improvement with a record of 9-9. In addition, Kinsley's squad jumped three slots in the NE-10 standings, nabbing conference wins over Southern New Hampshire, Merrimack, Franklin Pierce, St. Michael's, and Southern Connecticut State, sophomore Halley Rose (second team) and freshman Louisa Wegener (All-Rookie) were each selected to the 2016 Northeast-10 All-Conference Team.

Biordi came to Pace from Mercy College, where she served as head coach of the field hockey team, as well as the Assistant Athletic Director of Operations.

Biordi coached the Mavericks since their inception as a varsity program in 2010, helping the team build from the ground up. She led the team to marked improvement from 2010 to 2015. The Pace University field hockey team will benefit from Biordi's experience as the team heads into its second season as an intercollegiate athletic program.

Biordi's field hockey teams have also been impressive off the field. In 2012, the Mercy field hockey team earned the NCAA Division II First Place National Academic Team Award, and the team took fifth place in 2014. Her team also received the NCAA East Coast Conference Community Service Award in 2012.

Biordi has served on the NCAA Division II Field Hockey National and Regional Committees. She was the head coach of the National Field Hockey Futures Program's Hudson Valley Region team from 2011-14 and has run Connecticut Revolution Field Hockey Summer/Winter Clinics since 2012. Biordi has received Level II + III Coaching Certification from the USA Field Hockey Coaches Association.

Biordi was promoted to Assistant Athletic Director of Operations in August of 2015. Her responsibilities included game day administration and operations, directing game contracts and coordinating schedules, acting as the athletic department liaison to admissions, and multiple other duties. She also helped write and present the Mercy College Athletic Department Five-Year Strategic Plan.

Biordi's field hockey roots come from the Hudson Valley. She led Putnam Valley High School to the New York State Championship as a senior in 2005, capping her career as a four-time All-League selection, Section I Honorable Mention and the Section I Sportsmanship Award recipient. She was also a standout on the soccer field for Putnam Valley and went on to play with the women's soccer program at Adelphi University, where she graduated in 2010 with a bachelor's degree in physical education.

NIKE FIELD HOCKEY CAMP FAQ

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.

WHAT FAMILIES SAY ABOUT Nike Field Hockey Camp at Pace University

26 Reviews

Maya came home happy and excited every day to share her camp experience. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable and at the end of the week came home a more confident player. Will definitely do it again!
This is the second summer my daughter participated in the Nike Field Hockey Camp at Pace. This time was even better! The coach is a real stand out-Coach Kayte Kinsley not only directed a great program but also got to know and connect with my daughter, which was really impressive.
She learned new techniques and strategies. The camp’s focus was on instruction and growth, not competition. This allowed her to truly progress as a player A big thanks to the coaches
Getting valuable coaching in goalie techniques. She felt coaches were very friendly and knows their stuff. It was eye opening for her how much it helps to get this type of instruction. She got inspired and learned as well by watching the older more experienced players. The camp was small enough that each player got attention. The camp coaches were friendly and provided a friendly encouraging environment.
The camp was a great balance of challenging and fun. The coaches were very kind and supportive and created a positive environment. She loved going every day and is even more excited about field hockey!
This was our second summer with this camp and Director. Both summers fabulous!! We love Coach Kinsley and will be back again next summer if she returns. Cannot say enough about how wonderful the experience has been with her and super organized!
My daughter and her friend had the BEST time! She improved so much and had a wonderful time. The camp was very organized and the overall experience was amazing for the girls. I truly was very impressed and already stared telling others about the camp. The camp director was GREAT! Looking forward to having my daughter attend another Nike camp!
June 29. 2018: My child made many new friends with girls her age that share the same passion for field hockey. She had fun engaging in competitive sports with and against them throughout the camp and now looks forward to competing against them during the fall season. My daughter really enjoyed the camp and keeps on talking about how she wants to do it again next year.
Ellie loved the counselors and never complained About going! Great experience. We will return next year

Although Abigail did not attend or there was no camp in 2020, the coaches all remembered her and were very excited she was back. The staff promotes the sport of field hockey without pressuring players or parents to be a single sport family. And they teach the skills so everyone improves by weeks end.

Ellie was excited to go to camp every single day and came home happy and tired AND talking about how much better she felt like she was getting. As a former soccer player at a Big 10 University I know what a difference coaching can make.... I cannot tell you how happy I am that this was such a positive experience for my daughter and her friend. THANK YOU for fostering their love of a healthy sport!
My daughter went in as a novice player worried that everyone would either already know how to play and/or already have friends there. She was able to learn new skills, grow as a player and also made a new friend. This is thanks to the set-up and activities that allowed her to learn, grow and meet kids her age. We will definitely sign up again next year.
Meeting other local players and coaches
My daughter learned many skills and more confidence.
The highlight was the exceptional teaching by the coaches.
She really liked scrimmaging with her group and making new friends.
My daughter made life long friends at this camp last year and brought her school friends this year
My daughter has never played field hockey and she felt so comfortable and happy going to camp each day! Thank you
The highlight of the camp was the coaching. My daughter felt supported and gained so much confidence over the week. She absolutely loved it. Kayte and all the coaches are so supportive and encouraging and that makes all the difference.

FAQ

Absolutely! Campers are encouraged to attend multiple sessions. Each program delivers something unique to help players excel in all areas of the game. Many campers will attend more than one session to further refine their skills, compete against new players, or choose a session with a different program focus.
