Team Biography

Pleiades was founded in 1995 and has since been a team that brings together fun, driven and relentlessly supportive athletes for an experience that fosters leadership, commitment, development and friendship. The team first qualified for Nationals in 2002 and will be returning in 2019 for the third year in a row, with back-to-back regional championships in the Atlantic Coast. With the burgeoning strength of the Triangle’s youth scene, Pleiades has built a sustainable program that climbs up and up every year. We are lucky to be coached by Jessi Jones, 2018 Coach of the Year, and Lindsay Soo, Pleiades alum and U-24 Worlds gold medalist. We are 22 athletes, seven sisters, one team. With a deep roster, stand-out rookies and Callahan nominee Rebecca Fagan, Pleiades plans to shine bright at Nationals.
