Major League Soccer Camps - The official camp and clinic program of Major League Soccer
 
MLS Camps CEO/Owner:
Dr. Gary Russell

In 1969 I started my own youth soccer company so children could be part of a fun and exciting learning experience—one that made them feel good about themselves. I spent decades researching how children behave, grow and develop. My findings were then used to create a truly effective soccer curriculum that matches the development of the child alongside the development of the player. MLS Camps is the only company that brings this to you. Our mission is to “Lift People Beyond their Vision of Capability.” This means that every club we work with, every coach we train and every player we interact with experiences more success than they ever imagined. It also means that MLS Camps always puts the needs of the child before the sport. And, when dealing with your club and its members, we will always put your needs before the products and services we sell.

I hope you are as excited as I am about everything MLS Camps has to offer you. My talented staff and I look forward to the opportunity to serve you.

Sincerely,



Gary F. Russell, Ed. D
