Welcome Back!

Welcome back to Coach D's Blog. As the warmer weather continues to return it means LM Soccer is not far away. At this time I would like to make all of our LM Soccer Alumni Members aware of a few things that have, and will be happening in the next several months.

1/  We have added quite a few videos to our LM Soccer Alumni website, and will continue to add more as they become available & digitalized. LM began taking videos of their soccer games in 1984, and through 1996 we have quite a few videos that have held up pretty well. From 1997 through the present we are trying to run down copies of any videos that were taken during that period so we can post them as well. Here are the videos that are on the website now, in their entirety. Check them out:

Individual Game Videos
1987 - vs. Strath Haven, vs. Episcopal, vs. Ridley
