I began my life in the sport of football/soccer as a player in Birmingham, England. Having played the game at a high level as a youth player I went on to play for Liverpool John Moores University and as a semi-pro player for several clubs in England. 

I began coaching in my early twenties working with several schools and programs in the Birmingham area. In 2001 I took the opportunity to coach in Orange County, California providing coaching education programs and as a director of residential and non-residential camps. I also worked as an athletic performance trainer both in Newport Beach and Del Mar and as a PE teacher in Carlsbad. I have coached for Orange County and San Diego clubs for 18 years including five years as director of coaching. I have overseen several high school programs. Newport Harbor High School, Escondido High School, San Dieguito Academy and now in my 10th year at Torrey Pines High School. During my tenure at Torrey Pines we have continued the strong tradition of excellence on and off the field, including back to back CIF Open Division titles, multiple League Titles and winning Butch Lee Tournaments!

Our dedicated staff and volunteers help provides a unique education and experience of the game for our students. As well as expert insight and guidance we install a togetherness in the girls and qualities that will serve them well on and off the field in their future endeavors. I am excited for the upcoming season and look forward to the progress of all three levels, meeting our new freshmen and a having a great last year with our graduating seniors.

I am originally from Los Angeles, CA and have played soccer throughout high school, college, and also at the semi-professional level all over Southern California. I have been coaching since 2014 and am currently also coaching at a college in San Diego. This will be my second year at Torrey Pines and I am excited to help lead the program towards another successful season.

Pamela Kalinoski is a former walk-on turned Team Captain and NCAA MVP at the University of North Carolina under legendary coach Anson Dorrance, winner of 22 NCAA titles and former U.S. Women’s National Team coach. A four-time NCAA National Champion who went undefeated throughout her collegiate career, Pamela understands firsthand the discipline, pressure, and commitment required to compete—and thrive—at the highest level.

After her playing career, Pamela went on to become a Division I Head Coach at the University of San Francisco, where she continued to lead and mentor young athletes on and off the field. With over 25 years of experience working with high school girls as a coach, mentor, and counselor, she brings a unique combination of elite athletic background, coaching expertise, and a deep understanding of the emotional and developmental needs of young female athletes.

Pamela’s coaching philosophy is rooted in developing the whole person, not just the athlete. She is passionate about helping girls discover their inner strength, build mental resilience, and grow into confident, capable leaders—both on and off the field.

"I challenge myself to find the inner athlete in every girl I coach and help her unwrap all of her gifts. I care deeply about each individual and work to form meaningful connections that allow their full personalities to come alive.  Relationships are everything in sports and life, and I believe in building a team culture grounded in consistent support, trust, and mutual respect."

Whether she’s helping run high-level training sessions, mentoring a player through a difficult moment, or helping build team chemistry, Pamela leads with heart, vision, and intention. She sees soccer not just as a game, but as a powerful platform for personal growth, life lessons, and lasting confidence.

Hi I’m Kaitlyn. I’m from Texas and I’ve been playing soccer for 18 years. This will be my first year coaching and I'm excited to see what the season brings.

The second I saw my first soccer game I told my mom “I want to do that”. I grew up playing for Liverpool FC America. I played Lake Highlands Girls Classic League D1 as a starting center-mid. And then went on to be a Starting freshman at University Of Houston-Victoria, and then played soccer for two more years at Texas Wesleyan University. In which my team was Division Champions. My love for the game has been strong and I’m thrilled to get back to what I love. I’m excited for the upcoming season and getting to know your kids, and leading them to a successful season.
