Gilroy's love for the game stems from he first started playing in middle school and being around quality coaches who instilled an early passion and curiosity for the game from an early age.
Chris's commitment to the game and hard work payed off as he won many league and district awards with the Herd and was able to go one and play at Mt St Mary's. Following his playing career he returned to help coach at the High School and Middle School levels at his alma mater.
His goal is to continue to help Fields of Growth grow the game globally in Kingston Jamaica and he could use some help raising funds for travel and other expenses.
