Craig Demmin

Craig Demmin's Journey—Craig has had quite the impressive journey. He has lived out the 3TC philosophy throughout his whole life from his soccer start as a young boy in Trinidad and Tobago to his creation of Craig Demmin Soccer in Rochester, NY. Craig has been training soccer players for over 30 years and is excited to now be able to do it out of his own facility at 3TC. Craig has many decades of experience and accomplishments that have helped mold his coaching philosophy and holds his USSF A license.

Craig started growing his love of soccer through years of playing in the streets in Trinidad and Tobago where he would simply play for fun for hours and hours daily. Craig’s favorite memory of soccer is growing up playing small goal or pick-up soccer in the streets and the Savannah of his hometown of Arima. It was here where his passion for the game was ignited. This passion was the beginning to a remarkably successful career. Craig is thankful and proud of how the positive influence of the game has helped him on his journey. Currently, Craig resides in Chili, NY with his wife, Sarah, and three sons Drew, Jack and Tyler. Craig feels it is important to support and give back to the community and thus is a supporter of the Golisano Children's Hospital. He holds different tournaments throughout the year that fundraise for the children's hospital.
