Summer Greetings

I hope all of you LM Soccer Alumni & families are having a good summer. I just wanted to pass on some info for the upcoming Fall season.

Head varsity coach Jon Fadely has stepped down to take a position in the Athletic Director's office. After a month long search & screening process, the Aces have a new head coach, the 10th in the storied history of one of the most successful boy's soccer programs in the state. His name is Nick Severini, and those LM Soccer Alumni who graduated in the last 20 years may recognize the last name. His father, George Severini, has been the head Haverford H.S. coach since the late 80's. We all wish Nick the best.

Also, I want to pass on 2 LM Soccer Alumni events that have been scheduled for the Fall. Please make a note on your calendars.

1/ Monday, September 27th - The 6th Annual Steve Fountain Memorial Golf Tournament will be held at nearby Radnor Valley golf Club. More info will follow here at Coach D's Blog, and on the "Alumni" portion of the website. We hope to have another big turnout this year.

2/ Saturday, October 16th - The annual Lower Merion Soccer "Alumni Game" will be held on Arnold field during the day, and at night we will be holding our first informal LMSAA Beef & Beer in King of Prussia (open to all LM Soccer Alumni, coaches, & friends). For those of you in the area, and those planning a trip back home, come out and join us. It will be a great chance to catch up and reminisce about those good old days on Arnold field. More specific info on both these events will follow here on "Coach D's Blog", and on the "alumni" part of the website.

Enjoy your summer and I'll be back in touch when pre-season begins. I know you all have fond memories of those hot August days, filled with hundreds of trips running around the field, wind sprints, the 2-mile run, hours of skills work, does it get any better than that.
