The Tri-City Eagles are excited to welcome Brent Solomon, new head coach of our Women’s Fall League Division 1 team.

Message from Brent Solomon

Hello,

Welcome to the 2023/2024 Fall Field Hockey Season! My name is Brent Solomon, born in Cape Town, South Africa and I have been in love with field hockey all my life. Having played, coached, and umpired at various levels including Provincial and Men’s Premier League in South Africa for over 15 years I have been given the privilege to live the sport in all its forms.

My philosophy with respect to coaching is constant, measured improvement and with special focus on basic skills and core strategy as a foundation to accelerate a team’s performance. Hockey is a beautiful sport based on the principles of teamwork, tactics, and speed.

My African roots celebrate the idea of teamwork through the idea of Ubuntu which simply means “I am, because you are”. In fact, the word ubuntu is just part of the Zulu phrase Umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu, which literally means that a person is a person through other people. I apply this actively in my life especially as a coach. Sport can be a life changing experience if we approach it with the right attitude. Look forward to the season ahead and being part of the Tri-Cities Community.

Go Eagles!
