Coach Carlye Pina is a USSF National D Licensed coach and ACE-certified trainer who has spent the last decade helping girls find their strength both on and off the field. She combines the discipline of structured coaching with the empathy of a mother and the professionalism of someone who serves America’s Veterans every day.

Whether your daughter is just starting out or ready to push her game to the next level, Coach Carlye creates a positive, challenging environment where players learn to lead, communicate, and believe in themselves.

The Professional

By day, Carlye serves Veterans and their families through her work at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Her mission there is simple: serve with compassion and integrity. That same mission drives her as a coach — to help young athletes discover their potential and grow into confident, capable leaders.

The Coach

For more than a decade, Carlye has coached with passion and purpose. As a USSF National D Licensed coach and proud member of the New England Surf Soccer Club, she’s known for building teams rooted in respect, accountability, and unity.

Her sessions focus on more than footwork — they teach discipline, communication, and leadership. Carlye believes soccer is one of life’s best classrooms: every drill, every game, and every challenge helps shape a stronger, more confident person.

The Trainer & Mentor

Carlye is an ACE-certified personal trainer specializing in strength, speed, and nutrition, and she holds a certification in Functional Movement Training (FMT). Her unique approach blends fitness science with coaching experience, helping athletes improve performance while protecting against injury.

Her goal isn’t just to build better players — it’s to build better people. Through mentorship and positive coaching, she encourages young girls to see what’s possible when they trust the process, work hard, and believe in themselves.

Core Values - Service. Strength. Mentorship.

Carlye’s life and work are built around these three words. She believes the best athletes are those who lead with kindness, serve with humility, and compete with courage.
