PHILADELPHIA – The HEADstrong South Jersey Girls Lacrosse Club has announced today Amanda Rey has been named the General Manager of the program, bringing a wealth of lacrosse experience in the local area to the role. 

 

“I’m incredibly honored to be stepping into this role with the HEADstrong organization and thankful for the opportunity to further Nick Colleluori’s legacy,”  Rey said. “As a current coach for the South Jersey Girls, I look forward to continuing to build a girl’s program that emphasizes what Nick embodied – an unparalleled commitment to family and team, a relentless attitude and a passion for life.”
