| Kelsey |
| Head Official |
| Kelsey is a dedicated referee and passionate advocate for women's involvement in all aspects of sport. She began officiating flag football three years ago and has refereed at two National events. After playing touch football for six years, she became a flag football official to stay involved in the football community. She also recognizes the underrepresentation of women referees in football. She saw an opportunity to make a difference and serve as a role model for young women aspiring to pursue careers in sports officiating. Kelsey is thrilled to embrace the opportunity to lead and mentor fellow referees and continue to grow and learn in this new position. |

Be a selfless athlete and know your teammates and coaches are here to support you. These fundamental principles will guide us on the path to greatness." Coach Steph |
