In nineteen seasons at Rhodes, Andy Marcinko has led the soccer program to an overall record of 334-144-27, four conference titles, four NCAA tournament appearances and has been selected Conference Coach of the Year four times. Marcinko came to Rhodes in 1991 after a very successful stint at Richland College in Dallas, Texas, where he took his nationally ranked team to six consecutive NJCAA Tournaments and was selected Regional Coach of the Year three times. Marcinko’s commitment to team development is only surpassed by his commitment to player development. His players’ honors include: four All-American, twenty-six All-Region, and seventy-five All-Conference selections. He has also been involved with the Texas, Tennessee and Mississippi State Soccer Associations as a coaching instructor and ODP coach. Marcinko holds a USSF “A” coaching license, an Advanced National Diploma from the NSCAA and has successfully completed International Coaching Certifications from Football Associations in Brazil, Holland and Ireland.

We believe the quality of the staff determines the success of the camp. The Above and Beyond Staff is comprised of top college coaches and players, most holding a state or national coaching certificate with the United States Soccer Foundation (USSF) or the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA). Each group will have a head coach and at least one assistant coach to insure quality instruction.Our player to staff ratio is 8:1. The group head coach is a college coach or a former collegiate player who is a licensed coach. Our staff of collegiate players, many whom are licensed, act as assistants to the group head coaches. All staff members are accomplished players, but more importantly, they are teachers who possess the ability to educate and motivate youth soccer players.
