Indian Hill Exempted Village School District Names Emily Betz as Field Hockey Program Director / Head Coach
The Indian Hill Exempted Village School District is proud to announce the hiring of Emily Betz as the new Field Hockey Program Director and Head Coach, marking an exciting new chapter for Indian Hill Field Hockey.
Betz brings nearly a decade of proven leadership, program-building expertise, and championship-level success to Indian Hill after serving as Head Field Hockey Coach at Summit Country Day School since 2017.
During her tenure at Summit, Betz established a respected field hockey program, earning Southwest Ohio Field Hockey League (SWOFL) Coach of the Year honors in 2019, 2020, and 2025.
“We are extremely excited to welcome Emily Betz to Indian Hill,” said Brian Phelps, Athletic Director at Indian Hill. “Emily brings a rare combination of success as a high-level player and proven accomplishment as a coach who truly understands how to develop student-athletes and help them reach the next level. Her ability to build culture, connect with families, and create meaningful pathways for athletes at every stage makes her the perfect candidate to lead our field hockey program. We are confident she will have an immediate and lasting impact on the Indian Hill community.”
In addition to varsity success, Betz built Summit’s middle school field hockey program from the ground up, creating a clear developmental pipeline that emphasized skill progression, confidence, and long-term growth. Her athletes have earned numerous individual accolades, including multiple SWOFL Offensive and Defensive Player of the Year awards and All-Ohio selections.
Beyond competition, Betz is widely recognized for her commitment to accessibility and community growth within the sport. She founded the region’s first free field hockey clinic, partnering with Longstreth to provide complimentary equipment.
Betz is a former Division I student-athlete at Davidson College, where she served as Senior Captain of the field hockey team and earned All-Conference honors. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a minor in French.
“I’m incredibly excited and honored to join the Indian Hill community,” said Betz. “Indian Hill has a strong tradition of excellence, and I look forward to building a field hockey program that develops confident leaders, competitive athletes, and a connected, supportive culture from the youth level through varsity.”
As Program Director and Head Coach, Betz will oversee all aspects of Indian Hill Field Hockey, including player development, program alignment across grade levels, competitive scheduling, community engagement, and long-term growth of the sport within the district.
Indian Hill Athletics looks forward to welcoming Coach Betz and launching the next era of Braves Field Hockey.
