Cat Whitehill (born Catherine Anne Reddick on February 10, 1982) is an American football (soccer) player. She plays as a defender for the New Jersey Wildcats W-League team, and the United States women's national soccer team.
She was born in Richmond, Virginia, but grew up in Birmingham, Alabama. She played soccer from an early age, winning many awards, and attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, a university which has produced several top American players, including Mia Hamm and Eddie Pope.
She debuted for the United States women's national soccer team on 6 July 2000 against Italy, and has since become a regular for her national side.
She was married in late 2005.
Whitehill is an advocate for the rights of women to participate in sports. On 1 February 2006, she testified at a committee hearing of the United States Senate in support of Title IX, the civil rights law that, among other things, provides women and girls the same opportunities to participate in school sports that boys and men are offered. In her testimony, Whitehill described having to play on boys' soccer teams as a young girl in Alabama because there were no opportunities for girls to play organized soccer there at the time.
