Rebecca Nolin (née Hall; born 12 April 1983) is an English football coach and former professional player who represented Atlanta Beat of Women's Professional Soccer (WPS) as a defender and midfielder. She also played for Atlanta Silverbacks Women and Chelsea.
Career
England
Nolin was born in Hong Kong but grew up in Windsor, England.[2] She began playing for Slough Town Ladies at aged 15[3] and later joined Chelsea in 2001.[4] After becoming captain of Chelsea in 2001[4] and having trials with the England Under-18 squad,[3] Nolin was offered a scholarship by Kennesaw State University in 2003.[3]
United States
In four seasons as a starter with the Kennesaw State Owls, Nolin's team won the NCAA Division II and move up to Division I. She captained the side, was named in various select-teams and scored 16 goals from defense.[1] After graduating in Sports Management,[4] Nolin joined Atlanta Silverbacks Women for their 2007 W-League campaign.[4] In three seasons with the Silverbacks, Nolin made 11,[5] 14[6] and 12[7] appearances respectively.
Professional
In 2010, Nolin attended the open trials for the new WPS franchise Atlanta Beat on the advice of her university coach.[3] She was selected and signed to the team for their inaugural season.[4]
In May 2010, Nolin scored Atlanta Beat's first goal at their new Kennesaw State University Soccer Stadium, during an exhibition game against Tampa Bay Hellenic.[8] The last-minute header secured a 1–1 draw for the Beat; Nolin described scoring at her old university's facility as a "...dream come true".[8] When St. Louis Athletica folded mid-way through the season, Atlanta Beat inherited six of their players (including Nolin's compatriot Eniola Aluko). However, Nolin retained her own place on the roster.[3][8]
KSU appointed Nolin to the coaching staff of its soccer program in July 2010.[1] She served as head coach of the Valdosta State Blazers for three seasons from 2014 to 2016.[9]
