MEET Jaclyn Kelly

BASKETBALL COACH

Growing up in Northern New Jersey, Jaclyn Kelly developed a love for basketball while competing in one of the most competitive regions for girls’ basketball. During her career at Northern Valley Regional High School at Old Tappan, she achieved remarkable milestones, including scoring over 1,000 career points and earning honors as a 2x First Team All-County and 2x First Team All-Big North selection. Jaclyn was also named Female Athlete of the Week and proudly holds Northern Valley Old Tappan’s 3-point shooting record. One of the most rewarding moments of her high school career was helping her team win the NJ Group 3 State Championship, an achievement she cherishes to this day.

Jaclyn continued her athletic journey at Moravian University, where she was a two-year starter for the women’s basketball team. While her collegiate career was cut short due to injury, she remains deeply grateful for the opportunity to compete at a high level and for the lessons the game imparted.

With over six years of coaching experience, including leading the Old Tappan summer basketball team and working at youth camps, Jaclyn is passionate about mentoring the next generation of athletes. She thrives on helping players develop their skills, confidence, and love for the game. Jaclyn is excited to continue her coaching career and looks forward to contributing to the success of such a prestigious program.
