Staff Strengths
Camp Staff
Most staff members are former players in the program, now playing at the college level, who provide a common and passionate soccer learning experience. Some of the players in LBD's current program are chosen as well on the basis of their ability to teach, demonstrate, and positively motivate young soccer players. Our coach-to-player ratio is better than 1:9, and all LBD staff must be committed to high moral and ethical standards.
