Matt Lamale
ACADEMY Director
Matt Lamale joins DMSC staff as Academy Director. Lamale grew up here in Central Iowa, playing for the Menace Academy (at Aliber) and winning state cup multiple times. He graduated from and won state with Valley High School in 2006.
Lamale attended Marquette University in Milwaukee for one year and received a medical redshirt before transferring to Loras College in Dubuque. As a 4 year starter, Lamale and his peers went undefeated in 2007, going to back to back final fours and made the NCAA all-tournament team in 2008.
After graduating college, Lamale coached in the Volgesinger Academy. He was a member of the Junior Menace and Menace Academy coaching staff until the Menace Academy ceased operating. Following that, he coached with FC United prior to 2020 and most recently was a volunteer assistant with VSA Rush ECNL 04/05 boys. Through these experiences, Lamale has been able to coach all age groups, and all levels. He has also coached individuals and small groups to enhance player development.
Lamale is a self-proclaimed a soccer nerd and a diehard Liverpool fan. He still plays as often as his body allows, and when not playing, you can likely find him coaching, watching, or talking soccer somewhere. Lamale is always glad when he can give back to his community in a way that he's passionate about, which makes him a perfect fit for DMSC.
