Courtney Sirmans joined the Flyer coaching staff in 2012 after three seasons as an assistant coach at Wright State University.
A native of Centerville, Ohio, Sirmans was a five-time member of the Ohio Olympic Development Program state team. She also played year-round for the Dayton Soccer Academy after three years of high school play for the Centerville Elks. Sirmans helped lead DSA to State Cup titles in the first three years of the club's existence in 2001, 2002 and 2003 and DSA was runner-up in the US Club Nationals in 2003.
Sirmans then was a four-year letterwinner for the University of Dayton, appearing in 75 games with 59 starts. An Honorable Mention Freshman All-American by Soccer Buzz magazine in 2004, she enjoyed a prolific freshman campaign as she scored 15 points on five goals and five assists to finish fourth on the team in scoring.
Along with Atlantic 10 All-Rookie Team and Freshman All-Region honors in 2004, Sirmans was named to the conference's All-Tournament Team. She assisted on both goals in the semifinals and assisted on the game-winner in overtime in the finals to lead the Flyers to the NCAA Tournament.
Sirmans, who finished with eight goals and 11 assists during her UD career, was again named to the Atlantic 10 All-Tournament Team as a senior.
Following her collegiate career, she had a trial with TSV Crailsheim, which is part of the top division German Women's Bundesliga, and was also invited to a tryout with the Women's Professional Soccer's Washington Freedom.
Sirmans also has extensive coaching experience as she served as the head trainer for Cincinnati United in 2009 and has been a head or assistant coach for several club teams.
