Tipping Named NSCAA DOC

Jeff Tipping , the Director of Soccer at Muhlenberg College, has been named the Director of Coaching Education for the National Soccer Coaches Association of America. His selection was announced today by NSCAA President Barry Gorman .  

"Jeff Tipping is a natural choice to serve as the NSCAA Director of Coaching Education," said Gorman. "There are few who are more qualified than Jeff to lead our Academy staff. As an educator and coach, he is in a different class. He brings years of experience and teaching expertise to this position. Having served before in the capacity of part-time Director of Coaching, Jeff is extremely well qualified to lead the association as the NSCAA looks to expand and develop Academy course offerings. As envisioned by the NSCAA strategic plan, his vision and leadership qualities will ensure that our Academy Staff reaches more diverse audiences."  

"I'm honored to be entrusted with the leadership of the NSCAA Coaching Academy," said Tipping. "It has evolved into a formidable educational instrument, and coaching education is especially important at this critical time of development of the sport in the United States."  

Tipping takes the reins of one of the leading coaching education programs in the world, one he helped shape. His involvement with the NSCAA's education program began in 1983 when he became a member of the National Staff. In 1994, he was named Assistant Director and was elevated to Director of Coaching in 1996. He held the part-time post until 2000, when it was turned into a full-time position.  

A 1978 graduate of Hartwick College, he played four years of collegiate soccer, leading the team to the 1977 NCAA Championship while earning Defensive Most Valuable Player honors. Drafted into the American Soccer League, he was captain of the Pennsylvania Stoners for five seasons, earning All-Pro recognition three times (1979-81) and winning the league title in 1980. A knee injury cut short his playing career in 1982.  

He then turned to coaching, returning to Hartwick to serve as assistant soccer coach and lacrosse coach. In 1986 he earned a master's degree from Lehigh University and was named Director of Soccer at Muhlenberg. Since then he has compiled a record of 225 wins, 71 losses and 21 ties, earning four conference championships, eight NCAA Tournament appearances and a berth in the 1995 Final Four. In his position as Director of Soccer at Muhlenberg, Tipping served as an advisor to the women's varsity team and its coach, Leslie Benitend , who guided the team to Centennial Conference titles and NCAA Tournament appearances the past two years.

Coach Wanted!

Rockets  Boys U-12

We are looking for a coach to take over from the current parent volunteer and guide this team from a more recreation focused team to one that is competitive in the league.  The core group of this team has played together since kindergarten with some great new additions along the way.  There are several players that are very good, and some players at the other end of the spectrum.  The boys are committed to working hard and would like to expand to two practices a week for the Fall '06 Viking season.  We have already registered with 17 players and will likely round out the team with 18 in the next couple of weeks.

Please contact me if you are an interested coach.  Coaching fee is intended and negotiable based on experience and time commitment.

Thank you!
