OUR TEAM

GISELLE LOPEZ

Head Coach | 16-1 Premier

Giselle brings a deep love for the game and a well-rounded background, with 10 years of playing experience and time spent developing athletes at the high school level. Heading into her third year of club coaching, she understands the game from every angle—having played all positions, she brings a complete, athlete-first perspective to the court.

Off the court, Giselle works full-time as a veterinary technician, showing the same level of care, discipline, and commitment that she brings to her teams. When she’s not in the gym, you’ll find her with a good book—always learning, always growing.

Her passion for the game and for developing athletes aligns perfectly with what we’re building at Ignite.

We don’t just coach the game—we impact the journey.
