Mark MacKain

After four years playing with the U.S. Youth 15 & 18 National Teams and Olympic A & B Teams, Mark came to the Atlanta Chiefs of the North American Soccer League (NASL) in 1979 as the fourth high school player ever drafted into professional soccer in the United States. Mackain played three years in the NASL and one year in the MISL with the New Jersey Rockets playing in 18 nationally televised games and was the third player to ever train inside an EPL youth system (Aston Villa) before a chronic knee injury forced him from the game.

Mark continued to be heavily involved in the sport after his playing days were over by coaching his four sons, which began a 21-year coaching career with Atlanta Fire United. Coaching teams in the U.S. Developmental Academy (USDA) and Elite Clubs National League (ECNL), Mark also served six years working as a Director of Coaching and Director of Operations from 2006-2013. His experience at USDA and ECNL included coaching four women's national pool players, four future MLS players, and one U.S. Men's National Team Player. As a Super Y Director, Mark also hired and assisted his staff which produced two Super Y National Championships.

Over the last six years Mark has spearheaded a college recruiting process that has yielded the most players committed annually to colleges, than any single soccer Club in the state of Georgia. He has served on the Executive Board of Atlanta Fire United for 11 years helping to grow the club from under 900 to over 4,500, the U.S. Club Executive Board since 2009 where membership increased from 250,000 to over 500,000 and Juggle the World’s Executive Board serving under privileged inner city players.

Receiving his "A" license in 2004, he has or currently works with the ODP Region III staff (2001-2010), U.S. Club Player Development Program staff (2013-present), Super Y National staff (2010-present) and is a regular presenter at the globally attended NSCAA/U.S. Club Director of Coaching Course.

Mark is dedicated to taking his long-time association as a successful local business owner, combined with his vast soccer experience of over 38 years as a player and coach, to launch a club where a strong emphasis is fundamentally stressed on player development, but also balanced with teaching players the highly-competitive aspects of the sport.
