Each year, the LMSC Directors honors one travel team coach and one intramural coach for outstanding contribution to the program and overall success in adhering to the club philosophy of "providing each child with a fun filled experience in a soccer environment." This year we are pleased to present the award to two very qualified coaches.


Our Travel Team Coach Of The Year Award goes to Dan Grauman, head coach for the boys U-9 'A' Delinquents. Under Dan's leadership, the team finished second in the regular season of the First Division, going 8-1-1. In the playoffs, the team demolished West Chester 5-0 in the semifinals and look forward to their championship game against Downingtown. In its first season, the team won their Thanksgiving Tournament and have had a great time as a team both on and off the field.


Our Intramural Coach Of The Year Award goes to Marty Rubenstein, head coach for the Islanders team in the Intermediates Division. Marty's ability to teach his 7-8 year old players the skills of soccer as well as the tactics of soccer, combined with his ability to instill enthusiasm and a love of the game in his players was second to none. Marty has been coaching intramurals for three years. He is now coaching the U-8 Boys Developmental Travel Team and will hopefully be a great asset to the Travel Team Program for many years.

Congratulations to both Dan and Marty and thank you for the excellent work you have both done.
