Manny Oudin - Youth

Youth

Oudin graduated from Lenape High School. He attended East Stroudsburg University, playing on the men's soccer team from 1986 to 1988. He graduated with a bachelor's degree in physical education in 1991. In 1993, he signed with the Cleveland Crunch of the National Professional Soccer League (NPSL). That season the Crunch won the NPSL title. In 1994, he moved to the Harrisburg Heat, remaining with the team through the 1995–1996 season. At some point, probably in 1996, Oudin played for the Delaware Wizards of USISL. In 1997, he signed with the Hershey Wildcats. This brought him back to eastern Pennsylvania, an area he had lived in during college and an area he would make home for the rest of his career. Oudin played the 1997 and 1998 seasons with the Wildcats. In the fall of 1998, he signed with the local Philadelphia KiXX of the NPSL. In 1999, he returned to the USISL, this time with the Lehigh Valley Steam where he was both a player and assistant coach. The Steam folded at the end of the season and Oudin moved to the Reading Rage of the USL Pro Select League, playing with the Rage until 2003 when he retired from playing professionally.
