Texas A&M Camp Directors Make the Difference

While Texas A&M is one of America's most successful programs, the Aggies do not measure success by wins and losses alone, but in the style and quality of the performance of everyone involved. Texas A&M soccer players are renowned for their extremely high level of sophistication, speed of play and game savvy, due in large part to the exceptional coaching received in daily training.

G. Guerrieri, Camp Director, Head Soccer Coach

Coach "G" is the architect and leading force behind the national success of Texas A&M Soccer. He applies the same type of attention to detail of guiding the Aggies as he does in orchestrating each Texas A&M soccer camper's experience in Aggieland. In his 30 years at Texas A&M, he has turned the Aggie program into an Elite National Power, winning 14 Conference Championships and amassing an amazing 500+ wins versus America's best teams. Texas A&M is the only program in the conference and surrounding region to be consistently ranked in the National Top-10 since 1995 and is the only program to have earned selection into the NCAA Championship Tournament for 25 consecutive seasons. Guerrieri has been selected the Big 12 Conference Coach of the Year twice and is a five-time collegiate Coach of the Year. He holds a degree in education, a USSF "A" license, an NSCAA Advanced National Diploma, and has vast experience with both the National and Regional youth ODP programs.

Curt Magnuson, Assistant Camp Director, Director of Operations

Curt has been one of the lead Directors of the Aggie Soccer Camp since 1995.  During his time, he has grown the Aggie Soccer camp to be one of the largest collegiate soccer camps in the country focusing on the camper experience. In his 30 years of helping direct the Aggie Soccer camp, he has formed a reputation as a leader in the space across the university and amoungst other Top College Programs.  He has orchestrated an experience that has become a "bucket list" item for most players in the State of Texas and across the country.  He holds a USSF 'C' License, a USC (NSCAA) National License and has been a coach in the ODP program.
