Director of Coaching & Player Development:

Mallon was  the first Director of Coaching and Player Development for the 2,800 member San Ramon Soccer club. He designed and developed the curriculum, training program, and had oversight to select, hire, and train 400+ coach staff.   Mark's coaching and training led to two of his club players reaching professional level in MLS - David Bingham (LA Galaxy) and Andrew Wiedeman (FC Dallas/Toronto) and Dallas Jaye (USL Championship), and many others receiving scholarships for college soccer.  

After ten years as DOC in California, Mark Mallon founded The Soccer Institute campus in the Cleveland, Ohio area in (2005) on a scenic seventy five acre property he developed into a soccer training center.  The facility included indoor and outdoor fields, dining hall, and residential cabins providing summer camps and year round training programs. The TSI Premier youth soccer club for boys and girls U9 - U18 was also established organically and won Ohio State Premier League championships while developing underserved rural players. 

Mark Mallon has identified, trained, coached, and developed many MLS professional players:

Mark Mallon coached Richard Weiszmann at UC Berkeley developing CAL's first MLS player who signed with (NE Revolution), then Chris Roner (MLS San Jose), then Leonid Krupnik (MLS NY Red Bull),  and identified, coached, and recruited Troy Roberts to CAL before #21 draft to MLS (LA Galaxy).  Troy Roberts is a classic example of Mallon's eye for talent and ability to train and prepare players for the next level.  Troy was cut from the N-CA U16 ODP team...under a different coach. Mallon, the U17 California ODP State Head Coach selected him, changed his position, and Troy led the team to the Far West Regional Championship and Snickers National Championship final four.  He was selected to the full U20 National Team that year based on Mallon's recommendation and suggestion to Lyle Yorks (Mallon's former assistant Coach at CAL - now a top US layer agent) to pass Troy on to George Gelnovatch the U20 Coach at that time.

MLS players Calen Carr (Chicago) and Chris Wondolowski San Jose (MLS all time scoring leader) both attended Mark Mallon California Soccer Camp at UC Berkeley as youth players.
