Vadim Chernyakhovsky

Men's Head Coach at Kingsborough Community College

A native of Ukraine, Chernyakhovsky was a goalkeeper in the prestigious youth professional academy of FC Dynamo Kiev. At 16 years old, he had two offers from both FC Spartak Ivano-Frankivsk and SKA Kiev, 2nd division sides at the time, as a reserve team goalkeeper, but declined both to stay in the FC Dynamo Kiev academy. In 1978, he was selected to the under-18 Soviet Union National Team pool.

Chernyakhovsky then left Europe and moved to Pittsburgh in 1980. In 1981 Dynamo Soccer Club was formed. (Now known as Pittsburgh Dynamo Soccer Club, it continues to operate out of Pittsburgh to this day, instilling Chernyakhovsky's coaching philosophies.) After spending five years in the Steel City, Chernyakhovsky moved to Brooklyn. He received his USSF National-A coaching license and was the Cosmopolitan Junior Soccer League Select Boys under-13 coach.

In 1999, he founded Dynamo Soccer Club for youth and adults in Sheepshead Bay, New York which he still operates. Along with the Club, Chernyakhovsky has coached at the Empire State Games for the women’s scholastic under-17 team for the past four years. Chernyakhovsky also maintains his international roots by coaching the Super Club National Team. Players from around the United States gather in Kansas City, Missouri before departing to play in England in August. Chernyakhovsky has coached all age groups of the Super Club National Team from under-14 through under-18.

In 2011, he was hired by St. Joseph's College to create a Men's and Women's soccer program. Within a year, the Women's team had won the HVIAC conference and the Men's team clinched their first playoff berth in 2014. In 2016 Chernyakhovsky moved on to Kingsborough Community College, where he currently holds the Men's Head Coaching position.

Eric Chernyakhovsky

Eric Chernyakhovsky is a college soccer coach with former European league and NCAA Division I playing experience.

Eric is a graduate of Dynamo Soccer Club. From 2005 - 2007, he was chosen to be part of a select group of United States players (SuperClubs National Team), who traveled to England to play against professional youth academies such as Tottenham Hotspurs, Charlton, Stoke, Birmingham City, etc. In the summer of 2008, he went on a week long trial with Go Ahead Eagles' reserve team (Netherlands/ 2nd division). Upon returning stateside he finished off the summer by playing with the prestigious USL U-20 FC New York team, before attending Iona College (NCAA Divison I) in the fall.

In 2010, Eric played for KFC Duffel in Belgium. During his time abroad he also had the opportunity to train/ trial with KVC Westerlo (Belgium/ 1st Division) and Royal Antwerp FC (Belgium/ 2nd Division).

Following his return to New York, he now wanted to focus on coaching. While continuing coaching at Dynamo Soccer Club, in 2013 he also became a scout and coach for the SuperClubs National Team - the same program that allowed him the opportunity to have his first taste of European competition. He continues to hold this role today. In 2014, he was named Assistant Men's/ Women's Coach at St. Joseph's College. For the 2015 season at St. Joseph's College, Eric was promoted to the role of Head Women's Soccer Coach.

Pamela Chernyakhovsky

Coach Pam is another proud graduate of Dynamo Soccer Club. In 2006-2007, she was selected to the CJSL Select Boy’s and Girl’s teams who participated in a series of summer fixtures, and she continued to play for the girl’s team until 2009.

In the summers of 2009-2012, Pam was also selected to take part in the SuperY League for the New York Magic and from there, secured a spot on their first team which participated in the semi-professional National Women’s Soccer League (the highest competitive women’s league at the time) until 2016. Pam also represented the New York City region during the Empire State Games for three years.

Following her summer with the SuperY program, Pam was chosen for the New York State ODP team to represent the state in regional competition. In 2010, she was chosen to join the SuperClubs National Team for their inaugural girl’s program in an overseas tournament in England playing against English youth academies like Charlton, Bolton Wanderers, Watford, Stoke City, and Colchester FC. From there, she participated in Colchester’s preseason fixtures for their women’s first team at the age of 16.

Following her short stint in England, Pam continued her soccer career at St. Joseph’s College Brooklyn on a full academic scholarship. She played for all four years and captained the team for three, collecting numerous accolades along the way like Rookie of the Year, Conference Player of the Year, and two-time All-American recognition.

Immediately after college, Pam was hired as an Assistant Coach at Kingsborough Community College and soon after became the Head Coach for the Women’s program.

Pam still competes in co-ed and women’s leagues around the city, though now remains primarily focused on using her knowledge and experience toward developing the new generation of Dynamo players.
