YMS would like to welcome Kevin Long to the YMS professional coaching staff,
headed by John Greaves (DOC) .
Kevin just completed his fifth season as the head coach of the Rider University

In his first two years he led both the 2003 and the 2004 Broncs to a
Rider-record for victories, 11 in 2003 and 12 in 2004, and to the Metro Atlantic
Athletic Conference playoffs. In 2004 he led Rider to the MAAC Championship

Long is a 1993 graduate of George Mason University, where he was a member of the
varsity soccer team. Long began coaching at Randolph-Macon women’s College in
1997 before moving on to NC State, one of the premier soccer programs in the
nation.
