Coach Sloan and the Knights played in the Sweet Sixteen in the NCAA Tournament in 2011, the furthest the program has ever advanced.
“It is a tremendous honor and one that is certainly reflective of our team’s achievements. It is a great feeling to see the players achieve some of the goals that they set out early in the season”, said Coach Sloan. “Given that there are so many great coaches in our region alone, it’s nice to be lumped in with some of the more prestigious coaches and schools in the country. I hold this award in high regard and the Neumann players have created this platform.”

U15M Nike Boys The PA Rush U14 Nike Boys team has solidified around the theme: "Winning Attitude, Winning Effort and Winning Results".We believe that soccer is a great training ground for life. So we work hard at soccer to be the best teammates, players, coaches and parents we can be, creating a pattern for how our players will approach other categories of life such as school, family and eventually work and marriage.
Winning Attitude, Winning Effort, Winning Results : We find that winning results are a natural outcome when we bring the right attitude and effort to the team. While we have enjoyed great success with regard to game results, we find more important results in the personal growth and development of each of our players individually and together as a team. We look forward to seeing the continued growth of these boys into men who are responsible, skilled, hard-working, caring, leaders in whatever their future holds, including, but much beyond, the awesome experiences of playing the great game of soccer with guys who become some of your closest friends.: We focus on teaching the discipline and critical importance of always putting out our best effort, especially during our training sessions. We believe you must practice your best every time if you ever want to play your best and if your best is to keep getting better. The boys enjoy the team more when we all bring a winning effort.: We challenge our team to build and maintain attitudes that are positive, committed, hard working, team/other-focused and encouraging amongst the players, coaches and parents.
