Welcome to the ‘08 Blizzards!
We are the CMSA sister team of the NESC Cyclones and Storm, made up of rising 7th, 8th and 9th grade competitive soccer players. Coached by Shelly Holdaway, the Blizzards mission is to work hard, focus on the fundamentals of the game, and most importantly learn how to play together as a competitive team and prepare girls for the challenge of high school soccer tryouts.

OFFICIAL TRYOUT: Thursday, May 26th @ North Harford High School

About Coach Shelly
As the former assistant coach for the 2021-22 season, Coach Shelly is excited to be taking the reins as the Blizzards head coach to compete in the CMSA league in 2022. A mom of three (including two girls), Coach Shelly knows first hand the challenges girls face in today’s competitive sports and social world. She has made it her mission in coaching the Blizzards to help guide her players to fulfill their own unique potential, and develop confidence as young women, both on and off of the soccer field. 

Over the past six years, Coach Shelly and her family have been active members of the Northern Elite family in some way or another – first on the sidelines for her son, and most recently on the coaching team for the NESC Blizzards. A soccer goalie in her high school days as a Bel Air Bobcat, Coach Shelly has devoted her life to coaching and mentoring young athletes in Harford County. Her experience spans swimming instruction at the Bel Air Athletic Club, Bel Air Rec girls’ lacrosse, and coaching girls’ youth soccer at Forest Hill Rec and NESC.

When she is not coaching her Blizzards, Shelly is an active leader in the Harford County Council of PTAs, serving as the Treasurer of Forest Hill Elementary School’s PTA, and is an elementary faith formation teacher at Saint Margaret Parish.

Coach Shelly holds a coaching certification from US Soccer in 11v11 and 9v9.
