Liza & Eric Wittenberg founded and direct the Berkshire Soccer Academy for Girls, working year-round to create a safe, inclusive environment for each girl to develop as a player, make friends and have fun.
Eric grew up at Elmwood Day Camp in White Plains, NY where he was a camper, senior staff member and Athletic Director. He also worked as the full-time program director at Woodmont Day Camp in New City, NY. His masters work included studying the Social Psychology of Sport and Physical Activity at the University of Northern Colorado and the University of Valencia (Spain). He received his B.S. from Keene State College where he played baseball and rugby. Eric founded and managed CrossFit Potrero Hill, a unique training and fitness facility in San Francisco, which he sold in order to devote his full time efforts to BSA. Eric oversees BSA’s program and operations and serves as the camp’s “Master of Ceremonies” at meals, campfires and other events.
Liza graduated from Georgetown University where she captained the Hoya’s Division I Women’s Soccer Team. After college, Liza taught elementary school in the Bronx through Teach for America, and then directed a global citizenship program in ten major US cities for the United Nations Association-USA.
