Benny's Soccer Clinic

Fundamentals - Classic insight into the game. Coached by greats like Ron Newman, and playing at the height of the game with players like Pele, I will take your game to the next level. I know how to produce a champion! I ran the Maccabbi Los Angeles Youth league for 35 years and coached 4 club teams to Gold and 2 to Silver in the Maccabbi Games.

The Maccabee Soccer Team of the 1971-1981 era won the national United States Open Challenge Cup five times in eleven years. In 1976-77, Maccabee’s record was 35-0, enroute to sweeping the Los Angeles title, the California State Open, and the U.S. Open Cup.

The soccer team--the original activity of today’s Maccabee Athletic Club--was organized by a group of mostly European Jewish immigrants who were players/supporters of the pre and post-World War II U.S. soccer scene. They dominated the sport in Southern California in the 1970s-early 80s, and more or less, the United States, itself. In addition to winning the U.S. Open Challenge Cup in 1973, 1975, 1977, 1978 and 1981--and were runners-up twice--the Maccabees captured Greater Los Angeles Championships in 1971-72, 1973-74, 1974-75, 1977-78 and 1978-79; and California Open Cups in 1976, 1978, 1979.
