Amanda Lawson

Amanda founded Horizon Field Hockey Club during the 2004-05 season, after taking her Strath Haven High School varsity team to an indoor tournament at Ursinus College. What began as a single team practicing in gyms has grown into a year-round indoor and outdoor program for more than 200 athletes.

In 2024 USA Field Hockey named Amanda the winner of its 2023 Grow the Game Award, presented to a member who has impacted their community through field hockey. She is proudest of the club’s coaching tree: many of Horizon’s coaches are former Horizon players who came back to grow the game.
