Mr. Soccer Camps were founded in 1998 by Anders Kelto of Traverse City and Corey Woolfolk of Ann Arbor, two friends and teammates who won the title of “Mr. Soccer” in consecutive years. Like Anders and Corey, every Mr. Soccer Camp coach has played soccer at the college level or beyond, and many have earned impressive accolades throughout their playing careers. In short, you will be hard pressed to find a more talented, spirited or enjoyable group of coaches anywhere in the country, let alone in Northern Michigan.
