Each year, the LMSC Directors honor our top travel team coaches 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."


Our Boys Travel Team Coach Of The Year Award goes to Art Corrado, head coach for the Under 10 Lightning. Art has been coaching in our program for about 13 years now. He first started coaching intramurals with his oldest son Matt who later played at Lower Merion High School and is now in college. Art then moved down to help coach his second son Chris who is now playing high school soccer. Art then went back to the Intramural Program to coach his youngest son Justin. The past two years Art has been head coach for the Lightning.

This past season, the Lightning captured the Delco League Under 10 Division 4 championship. The team got off to a slow start, dropping their first two games of the season. They then went on a tear, finishing 9-2-1, including a 2-1 win over Central Delaware in the semi finals and a 2-0 win over T/E in the championship game. The Lightning also went 5-0, winning the championship in the Delco Columbus Day Tournament. Art currently has the Lightning playing in an indoor league. They recently tied Reading-Berks, a Division One Delco League team.

For his many years of service, and his tremendous job this fall with the Lightning, LMSC would like to honor Art Corrado as our Coach Of The Year.


Our Girls Travel Team Coach Of The Year Award goes to Will Haines, head coach for the Under 9 LMSC Heartbreakers. Will had been coaching in our intramural program for many years. This year, his daughter Jenny moved on to the Travel Team Program where Will was given the job as head coach for her team. When many of Will’s former players in the Intramural Program requested him as a coach again this fall, Will eagerly volunteered to again coach them in intramurals, even though his daughter would be playing travel. As if a travel team and a team in the Protons Division wasn’t enough, Will also found time to help coach his oldest daughter Christina in the Cosmos Division.

Will’s Under 9 team, the Heartbreakers, had a great first season of play, thanks mainly to Will’s enthusiastic, upbeat approach to coaching. The Heartbreakers had a great season, winning their division in the PAGS League. Over the years, our club has received many compliments about Will’s coaching. We at LMSC are very fortunate to have him coaching. For all his work, we are happy to honor him as 2000 Coach Of The Year.


Our Intramural Coach Of The Year Award for 2000 goes to Fred Robinson. Fred was VERY busy this season, serving as head coach in the Microns Division with his daughter Sarah, Division Commissioner and head coach in the Seniors Division with son Lester and head coach for the Under 13 girls travel team, the Falcons, with his daughter Dana. During the winter, he is also coaching his oldest daughter, Stephanie, at Rocket Sports.

Fred has been a great asset to LMSC for almost ten years now. He has earned his ‘E’ and ‘D’ level coaching licenses and always seems to have a great time on a soccer field. His love of the game and love of the boys and girls he has worked with over the years has been enormous. For all of his work this fall, and in the many years before in both the Intramural Program and the Travel Team Program, we would like to thank Fred and honor him as LMSC Coach Of The Year for 2000.
