Mister David Gully is originally from London , England . He currently lives in St. Augustine Florida . David started playing soccer at 6 years old and played on his first competitive team at the age of 9.  He played for local club teams until scouted and signed to play soccer for a number of Semi-Pro teams. Unfortunately he decided to hang up his competitive playing boots and concentrate on coaching due to recurring injuries.

Starting his new career path David passed his English F.A. licenses and then began working at professional soccer clubs Queens Park Rangers F.C. and Brentford F.C. where the clubs gave him his coaching start. He traveled to Kansas in the summer of 2002 to work at his first international soccer camp. On his return he stayed with QPR F.C. and became heavily involved in all aspects of coaching at the club from community coaching to Center of Excellence Coaching while managing the Development Center for the C.O.E.

Another summer in 2003, here in Florida , led to even more coaching in the U.S. and fueled the dream of working out here full time to its greatest level. In January, 2004, he passed his UEFA B license and worked with Chelsea Football Club on their player development programs. In March, 2006, he made the move to the U.S.A and worked for MLS working with their camp program and training professional players.  He has a long-term relationship with Westside Soccer Club and is delighted and privileged to be working with this wonderful club. David currently holds both the UEFA B and USSF B licenses.

     David's coaching philosophy is:

          "A player can only develop in the right environment, with no fear of making mistakes and having the desire to be the best they can be."
