Elin Kuffner

Middle School Girls Soccer Coach

Ms. Kuffner was a competitive gymnast while growing up. As she progressed through her school years, she added diving, soccer, volleyball, softball, and snowboarding to her life. In college she played Ultimate for the University of Washington, and in graduate school she played soccer for the University of Washington club team. Since then, Ms. Kuffner has played on several club Ultimate teams based in Seattle, and now plays masters level club Ultimate for a team comprised of women from all-over the Puget Sound region. Throughout the years Ms. Kuffner has coached gymnastics, diving, soccer, Ultimate, and basketball. She has coached Ultimate at Eastside Prep since the beginning of our program in 2007, and now also coaches soccer and basketball. Sportsmanship and Spirit of the Game are of the utmost importance to her, and she loves helping her athletes learn to win with grace and lose with grace, as well as helping them to create a second “family” or sisterhood out of their sports teams.
