“I’m looking forward to being able to give kids the opportunity to train with a professional. I remember being in their position and never having an opportunity like this, so for me to be able to make a difference in these kids’ lives in a positive way, means so much,” said Farrington. “I hope that I can help inspire the youth to follow their dreams and be the best version of themselves they can be. I want the experience to be positive not just soccer wise, but socially. They can learn to work together with other players and create friendships as well as interact with me and the other coaches that will be there. I’m looking forward to a great camp.”

Roy Henning, owner of MFC Sports added, “Logan Farrington’s journey from local high school star to the MLS shows that the American Dream is alive and well.
