History

Ruedi Graf started World Cup Soccer Camps with two small camps including about thirty children in San Mateo in 1991. Since then World Cup Soccer Camps grew steadily adding three to four sites every year. Last year we were running camps covering the entire San Francisco Bay Area including the North Bay, San Francisco, the Peninsula, the South Bay, the Santa Cruz Area and the East Bay. Last year we had over 5000 children joining our camps and clinics.
In 2013 we are expanding our camps to the San Luis Obispo Area, to the San Diego Area as well as to the Portland, OR/Vancouver, WA Area.
Over these twenty years, World Cup Soccer Camps has maintained the highest standards of professional coaching, earning a reputation as one of the best all-around camp businesses in California. The company employs approximately ninety coaches and is headquartered in Los Gatos, California.
