Eric Nace represented Parkland High School, and Keegan Anderson represented Phillipsburg High School, both from LVU 93.  LVU was represented at the 2006, 2009, and 2010 Lehigh Valley Soccer Scholar Banquet by overall winners Brendan Feinberg (Salisbury H.S. LVU 88), Nick Tacca (Parkland H.S. LVU 91) and Taylor Brown (Moravian Academy LVU 91).]]> http://www.lehighvalleyunited.com/home/594417.html A Look into LVU's Coaches 01/13/2012 09:01 PM http://www.lehighvalleyunited.com/home/590483.html If you take a stroll around Lehigh Valley United’s indoor training facility, The Turff Club, you’re likely to run into some great soccer minds on and around the fields. Over the last five years LVU has put together an eclectic mix of soccer staff with wisdom and experience ranging from youth, college, and professional soccer. According to Greg Ramos, Executive Director of Soccer Operations at LVU, "the goal at LVU has always been to put together a soccer staff full of varied experiences and insight in the game. Our coaches each have strengths and expertise in different areas. Put these minds together, and we all become that much better."

 
LVU has certainly done just that. Kendall Walkes, Head Men’s Coach of West Chester University, and Erik Burstein, Head Women’s Coach at Kutztown University, have recently joined the LVU coaching ranks along side long time LVU coach and DeSales University Head Men’s Coach, George Crampton.

 
Many on the LVU staff are involved in the Olympic Development Program. Mike Gorni and Greg Ramos are Head Coaches of Eastern PA ODP Teams, Rob Hurley was former Director of Coaching for Eastern PA’s ODP Program, and Chris Bleam is current Region I Girls ODP Head Coach.

 
Continuing education and Professional Development is stressed at LVU. To keep up with an ever evolving game LVU coaches sharpen their skills in some of the top coaching courses in the country and abroad. Six Head Coaches at the club boast the United States Soccer Federation ’A’ license, the highest coaching credential available in the US. Crampton and Ramos went abroad to continue their education. Both have received Europe’s second highest coaching credential the UEFA ’A’ Licence by spending weeks at a time in the UK acquiring UEFA credits.

 
When taking a closer look, you’ll find the expertise very broad covering many important areas and specialties of modern youth soccer. Hal Foss and Cory Grove, Director and Assistant Directors of Goalkeeping, work with players daily. LVU affiliate, Orthopedic Associates of Allentown (OAA), connect the players and their families with the latest Sports Science information as well as timely care and treatment. LVU’s relationship as a Youth Development Partner of YSC & Philadelphia Union means the sharing of resources such as Union Coaching staff, Sports Psychology staff, and Sports Science staff. In return LVU has coaches and players working and playing at YSC, Philadelphia Union, and Union USL Affiliate Reading United AC.

 
The future also looks bright for the coaching staff at LVU. Many of its’ younger staff were former players for the club. Matt Baker, Sky Rimmele, Phil Lichtenwalner, Cory Grove, Alberto Chavez, Dan Grodziak, Sam Hayden, and Josh Foss, to name a few, have all come up the playing ranks of LVU to now find themselves on staff. Says Ramos, "I think its great! Its one of the things I’m most proud of. That those guys were impacted in such a strong way as players at LVU to want to come back and teach those same skills and traditions to the next generation is a true measuring stick of the job we do here. My dad would also be proud. He wasn’t about the wins and losses, but the impact made on young people. He’s left quite a wake. These young guys coming back and working here are a testament to that."

The LVU family would like to congratulate Jordan on this incredible accomplishment and we look forward to a following him throughout his bright soccer future in high school and beyond.

A total of $10,738 was raised to provide vaccinations for underprivileged kids abroad through GAVI, a great organization with which LVU has been working since this past fall. LVU players have worked from November until February spreading the word of our mission to vaccinate kids to friends, family, neighbors, teachers, and people in their communities. It has been a mission that has not only benefited kids abroad but also has instilled an attitude of compassion and giving back in LVU players.

The accomplishments of our players were celebrated at the annual winter banquet at which Congressman Charlie Dent and GAVI representative Sebastien Laye joined in congratulating the players’ hard work. The two teams raising the most money, 99 boys among 11v11 teams and 00 boys among 8v8 teams, received the first GAVI logo LVU tops for their outstanding effort! As LVU closes its first campaign to support GAVI’s mission to provide vaccinations for children in the poorest nations in the world, we are excited to continue our partnership with new fundraising strategies like GAVI logo LVU shirt sales.
 
Former player and current LVU liaison to GAVI, Samuel Hayden, will continue to be involved in building the relationship that LVU has started with GAVI, though his involvement will be realized from a hemisphere away as he will be serving as a community and economic development volunteer in the United States Peace Corps in Paraguay.
