Brooke Barnes

Speed, agility, and a lethal two-footed attack define my game. While naturally right-footed, my left is just as dangerous on the pitch - a versatility rooted in ten years of elite training with the Atlanta Ballet, which gives me rare balance and body control. A proud "Little Hatter" since age five, I developed my tactical foundation as an academy center back under Ted Colburn before expanding into outside back and midfield. At The Westminster Schools, I transitioned to forward and winger, earning Outstanding Forward of the Year after 12 goals and 13 assists led our team to a state championship semifinal. Tophat and Westminster develop players for the highest levels - from NCAA champion and Angel City pro Evelyn Shores to NC Courage pro Talia Staude - I am driven to continue that tradition. I am looking for a championship-caliber, four-year college home that will push my ceiling both on and off the pitch. I'm not looking for a stepping stone - I want to commit to a program, develop within a system, and graduate with banners I helped raise.
