Adrienne Cali has the spirit of an athlete and the heart of a coach! In her college years, Cali won the NJCAA Tennis State Championship and her SUNY Brockport college lacrosse team won the NCAA State Tournament! Her passion for sports and education led her to pursue teaching certification in Physical Education.

Coaching became the natural next step for Cali. She coached women’s softball at St. John Fisher College in her early coaching years. More recently she coached JV tennis at Roberts Wesleyan College and girls’ varsity softball at Batavia High School. Cali recognizes the significant influence coaches have with their athletes. She says, “I want not only to coach but to help my athletes navigate through the stresses of daily life.”

To combine her passion for coaching with her love for Jesus, Cali joined Greater Rochester FCA in 2019. Cali says, “Being an athlete and a coach myself, I understand the opportunity I have to build authentic friendships with athletes and coaches and to share the good news of Jesus Christ.” Adrienne currently focuses her time and energy building relationships with coaches and raising up student leaders at Roberts Wesleyan College.
