Annie Mertz
Recreational Coordinator
Annie's first season coaching with Arsenal taught her that coaching soccer is an artform fueled by passion and commitment. In lending her leadership and administrative skills to the league, she hopes to support our talented volunteer coaches so they can continue doing what they do best - making soccer fun for everyone!
Annie brings over a decade of experience managing volunteers in nonprofit settings. She works full time as the lead minister of St. Paul's Episcopal Church, and in March 2022, she earned a certificate in Nonprofit Management from Arizona State University. Her next learning adventure is to develop a regular meditation practice and explore how mindfulness can help athletes on and off the field.
