SPRING VALLEY, NY – February is Black History Month and we would like to recognize Spring Valley HS Football Coach Andrew Delva.

Delva is a Spring Valley HS graduate and has dedicated himself to Spring Valley High School. Besides Football, he also coaches track and field. Rockland & Spring Valley are extremely lucky to have an individual like Andrew Delva mentoring the youth in our community.

An incident that shows Coach Delva’s character and dedication occurred in 2018.

After coaching the Spring Valley HS Football team on Friday night, Coach Andrew Delva Sr. woke up early Saturday morning to coach the Spring Valley Pop Warner team – the Hornets.

At the end of a long day filled with multiple games, he was filmed by parents from the opposing team cleaning the stands himself.

In March of 2020, Laurie Santulli County Legislator presented Coach Delva with the Distinguished Service Award.

“Coach Delva has been an older brother and father figure to hundreds if not thousands of students in his years at Spring Valley. He takes absolutely no nonsense or excuses, he pushes for and expects maximum effort. But in return students know they will have the strongest and most dedicated man in their corner for life. “ said Spring Valley HS teacher and Rockland County Legislator Laurie Santulli.

Coach Gizzi has been an unwavering force within the North Rockland Football program for 14 years, beginning his journey at the modified level and steadily rising to become a key leader on the Varsity Coaching Staff. His extraordinary dedication, unmatched work ethic, and selfless spirit have made an indelible impact on the football program, culminating in their first Section 1 Championship in over a decade.
In his third year as Defensive Coordinator, Coach Gizzi’s defensive strategies have set a new standard, holding opponents to just 12.3 points per game and an average of 66 passing yards. His defense delivered an incredible 15 turnovers and 12 sacks this season, shutting out three playoff opponents and holding others to only 3.5 points per game in the postseason.
Coach Gizzi’s impact goes beyond the stats; he is a mentor, a motivator, and a model of what it means to lead with heart. Whether on the field or during the offseason, he inspires our players to achieve greatness both athletically and academically. His leadership has transformed the #NRockAthletics football program into one of the best in the state, and his influence will be felt for years to come.
