COACH SULLY'S FIELD HOCKEY CAMP
Coach Megan Sullivan, AKA: Coach Sully, has been coaching youth field hockey for over 10 years. She is the head field hockey coach at Bishop O'Connell High School, and in 2024, was named the WCAC Coach of the Year. She was also nominated for the national high school coach of the year by topofthecircle.com. Coach Sully founded, coaches, and runs Arlington Field Hockey, the first recreational field hockey league in Arlington, VA.
