The first full-time coach in women's soccer program history, Taylor Peiser, joined Carleton Athletics ahead of the 2025-26 off-season. She will coach her first season with the program in the fall of 2026.
Peiser brings nearly two decades of coaching experience across Canada, the United States, and internationally. In her current role as a Coach Developer and Learning Facilitator with Canada Soccer, Peiser has been at the forefront of delivering national licensing programs in both English and French, including the CONCACAF C and B Diplomas. She has played a pivotal role in shaping the next generation of coaches through initiatives such as the AccelerateHER license pathway, which provides mentorship, support, and a positive learning environment for female coaches nationwide.
Complementing this, Peiser brings NCAA coaching experience from her roles as Assistant Coach at UC Davis (Division I) and San Francisco State University (Division II).
Peiser’s experience also includes serving as Assistant Technical Director for the Association Régionale de Soccer de la Rive-Sud (QC), where she spearheaded initiatives to expand opportunities for women and girls across 12 member clubs. Taylor designed and implemented female-only development camps, established mentorship networks for coaches, and headed regional selection programs—work that significantly strengthened the women’s game at both grassroots and competitive levels.
A Bilingual leader, Peiser holds a Canada Soccer National B Licence and is currently completing her CONCACAF Diploma. She also holds a degree in Kinesiology from McMaster University.
