Each year, the LMSC Officers honor our top travel team coaches and one intramural coach for outstanding contribution to the club as well as overall success in adhering to the club philosophy of "providing each child with a fun filled experience in a soccer environment."
Our Girls Travel Team Coach Of The Year Award
goes to Miguel Nuila, head coach of the Under 9A LMSC Cheetahs. Miguel has been a head coach in LMSC for ten years now. During this time, he has had great success with his LMSC Velez (our U-16A boys team, the 2004 and 2008 State Champions) and other teams. This year, Miguel moved over to the girls side of the program to work with the Cheetahs and also work with new LMSC coach Paul Seip, a four year division one college player who is just beginning to coach. LMSC would like to congratulation Miguel on an excellent first season for the Cheetahs who finished with a 6-4 record after starting the PAGS season 1-3.
Our Boys Travel Team Coach Of The Year Award
goes to Mark Weinmann, head coach for our Under 10A boys travel team. This year, thanks to the great leadership of Mark, the Magic were crowned Delco League division one champions. Mark is also the head coach for the Chestnut Hill Academy boys varsity team which won the Inter-Ac championship this fall. Mark is also very involved in organizing the local Special Olympic games in this area. His outstanding work in recent years with this program has been instrumental in giving a lot of children a great chance to play soccer. Mark has also managed to get a lot of LMSC players involved in helping to run the Special Olympics. Before coaching the Magic, Mark was the head coach for the LMSC Arsenal. Originally a ‘B’ team in the program, the Arsenal went on to play in two state championship games, dropping one goal decisions to another long time LMSC team, the Hammerheads. Congratulations to Mark on his excellent year in soccer.
Our Intramural Coach Of The Year Award
winner is Stephen Simonian who has assisted Justin Ceccarelli with our four year old Pee-Wees Program. Stephen is a junior in high school and plays for his school team. On Sundays he is always found up at Gladwyne Playground in the fall helping our youngest players get off to good starts in their soccer careers. He also played in our Travel Team Program for many years. Stephen is the youngest person to ever win the LMSC Coach Of The Year Award. We hope that he will continue coaching soccer as he gets older. Congratulations to Stephen on being selected this year’s intramural coach of the year.
