The players, the staff, and the administration are what drive Strath Haven High School Head Coach Kevin Clancy, who is finishing his 39th season as a coach in the Philadelphia area.
“All the right ingredients have come together,” Clancy said.
Clancy started his coaching career as an assistant at Archbishop Carroll right after graduating from West Chester University in 1975. The Carroll alumnus was recruited by his former coach Joe McNichol to help with the program at his alma mater.
In 1991, an opening piqued Clancy’s interest at Strath Haven. With a growing family and a desire to continue teaching, he decided to take the head coaching job.
“I was looking for a good public school opportunity,” said Clancy, who is also the health and physical education teacher at Strath Haven. “It seemed like the right fit and they felt the same way, so it all worked out.”
Teaching is something he has wanted to do since he was a kid, graduating from West Chester with a degree in Health and Physical Education.
It was his coaches and mentors who held the same position that inspired him to take this career path.
