All about Bruce Laker;
I started coaching in 1983, just a local elementary school team and I slowly worked my way up the coaching ladder. From 1991 to 1994 I was the Head Keeper Coach for the Long Island Junior Soccer League Select boys program, during that time I started, and ran for two years, the Keeper Showcase at the Exceptional Senior Games held every November on Long Island. I also trained the keepers for William Floyd High School for one season. I left the LIJSL position when I moved out of New York state.
While living in Santa Fe, NM, I trained the keepers at two high schools, Santa Fe High School - Girls Varsity and Capital High School - Boys Varsity.
I moved back to New York in 1997 and starting training some youth keepers. I am currently working with teams from Dix Hills, Brentwood, Sachem, Deer Park & East Islip. In 2006 I worked as the Assistant Keeper Coach for the Eastern New York Girls ODP program.
My playing career started in 1969 and I played until I was 31, when my body told me "enough".
During my youth career I played on several League and Provincial Championship teams and one National Championship team while growing up in Montreal, Canada.   | Montreal, 1981 - New York, 2007 |
