Coach Isaiah Manzella

Isaiah grew up playing in the Eastampton Soccer Club (now the RVSC). He went to school in Eastampton and at Rancocas Valley Regional High School where he played soccer. He was captain of the Burlington County College Men's Soccer Team each of the two years he played there (1999-2000).

Isaiah continued his education at Arcadia University where he obtained a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education and a Master's Degree in Special Education. During his two years at Arcadia, the team compiled a winning record of 46-7-1. Both years the Scarlet Knights went undefeated in the Pennsylvania Athletic Conference. Arcadia made it to the NCAA tournament "Sweet 16" in 2001 and the "Elite 8" in 2002.

Isaiah is currently the Assistant Varsity Boys Soccer Coach at Rancocas Valley Regional High School. He has been coaching at RVRHS for five years now as well as training the RV, Pinelands, and Lumberton soccer clubs for four years.

Isaiah's Philosophy

"Through my travels as a player, coach and trainer I feel I have a very well-rounded perspective on youth and developmental soccer as a whole. Like many of the RVSC trainers and coaches, I understand there is a great deal to teach about soccer. We do not just limit our players' knowledge to improving their skills, tactical awareness and soccer prowess. We teach players about hard work, adversity and character. We understand that as role models and trainers/coaches, we are not only responsible for producing quality soccer players, but quality individuals as well."
