Meet Eric DiFulvio!
Sports Director - Coach
Eric DiFulvio’s soccer career kicked off impressively with Auburndale soccer club in NY at 4 years old, Through the years his significant contributions led to several state championships and personal accolades, including recognition as a key player on the team. His high school tenure at Holy Cross HS in Queens, NY, from 2000-2004, was marked by his pivotal role in securing City and State Championships and securing a varsity position from his sophomore year onwards.
Eric’s talent on the soccer field continued to flourish at the College of Mount St. Vincent in Riverdale, Bronx, NY, where he excelled in soccer on a scholarship and pursued a degree in Psychology. Here, he was instrumental in setting new records for the college’s soccer team, including the highest number of season wins, goals, and the deepest run into the postseason.
In 2006, Eric transitioned to Pennsylvania, continuing his education at Kutztown University, where he earned a degree in Elementary Education with qualifications in Middle School Math, Science, and Language Arts. Despite not continuing soccer at Kutztown, Eric’s passion for the game led him to a successful coaching career starting at Northern Lehigh HS and quickly advancing to Director of Soccer and Boys Head Coach at Wilson Area HS, alongside coaching roles at Western Lehigh Soccer Club.
In 2013, Eric fully immersed himself in club soccer, making a notable impact on young athletes across various age groups. His exemplary leadership skills were acknowledged at Western Lehigh Soccer Club (WLUSC), where he held several key board positions over four years. These roles included serving as Technology Director, where he leveraged his expertise to enhance the club's technological capabilities; Tournament Director, overseeing the planning and execution of soccer tournaments; Boys Director of Coaching, leading and developing the coaching staff for boys' teams; and stepping in as Interim President, guiding the club through transitional periods with strategic oversight.
Additionally in 2021 Eric is appointed the President of local WPSL soccer team LV Tempest, ensuring the continuation of a vital pathway for young female athletes in the Lehigh Valley.
Eric DiFulvio’s journey through soccer as a player, coach, administrator, showcases him as a dynamic and forward-thinking leader in the Lehigh Valley soccer community.
Meet Coach Olivia Nyce!
U6 Team
Hello U6 Soccer Stars and Parents!
As we gear up for an incredible soccer season, I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself and share my excitement about being your coach! My name is Coach Olivia, and I'm absolutely thrilled to be leading our U6 team this year. Soccer has been a huge part of my life since I was your age, and I can't wait to share my passion for the game with all of you. A little bit about me: I started kicking a ball around when I was just about your age and fell in love with the sport instantly. Over the years, I've had the privilege of playing on various teams, meeting incredible teammates, and learning from some amazing coaches. I played defense and forward for the Parkland Girls’ Soccer Team for two years until I tore my ACL and meniscus which ended my soccer career. Despite my injury, I still keep myself involved with the sport as I run the soccer skills program here at LVST. In addition to being a soccer coach, I am a senior at Kutztown University where I am studying elementary education and visual impairment. With a passion for both soccer and working with children, I am committed to creating a fun and positive environment for our little athletes!
During this season we'll learn to dribble, pass, shoot, and play together as a team. But we'll also learn the importance of sportsmanship, encouraging each other, and being gracious whether we win or face challenges. The field is a place to make friends, challenge ourselves, and create memories that will last a lifetime. Let's go team LVST!!!
Meet Coach Kevin Silva!
U8 Team
Hello team! My name is Coach Kevin and I’ve played soccer since I was 4 years old. I fell in love with the game at a very young age and always wanted to grow as a soccer player. I started my youth career as a goalkeeper playing for LVU until age 12. I later joined PDA (Player Development Academy) playing for the rest of my career until college. At the age of 15 I was called to be part of the US Youth national team program down in Bradenton, Florida. Where I then made the final roster to be part of the U17 World Cup in Chile of 2015. Players like Christian Pulisic, Weston McKennie, Tyler Adams and more. I ended my high school career as a Two-time all American and number 1 overall goalkeeper, as well as the number 13 overall player in the IMG 150 by Top Drawer Soccer. I Attended UCLA for two years before having the opportunity to go start my professional career.
In 2018 I signed with Hearts in the Scottish Premier League for two years. In 2020 I made the move to Toronto FC of the MLS for another 2 years. Playing alongside Jozy Altidore and Michael Bradley. Lastly in 2022 joined the Pittsburgh Riverhounds of the USL. I learned a lot from my Pro career and excited to share my knowledge and love for the game with the next generation.
Get ready for an exciting journey ahead! Our first practice is just around the corner, and I can't wait to meet each and every one of you. Let's lace up those soccer shoes and get ready to kick off a fantastic season together here at LVST!
