Demmin has also played the last three seasons for Mississippi Brilla FC in the Premier Development League, earning All-League and All-Conference honors.
He is also the current boy’s soccer coach at St. Joe Catholic High School in Madison, MS. He has led the Bruins to six of the last nine Mississippi State Championships and has earned the MHSAA Coach of the year honors on multiple occasions.
DemminOn May 1 Demmin will unify the soccer community through “Kids Helping Kids”. All proceeds of the event will go to benefit the Blair E. Batson Hospital for Children in Jackson, MS.
“Every day hundreds of kids are able to be involved in the game of soccer,” said Demmin. “We are blessed to be able to play, and to participate in this great sport. However, not too far down the road from us, many children are battling very hard in something far more important than the game of soccer…they are battling in the game of life.”
The event will focus on Demmin taking on the entire state in a juggling competition. For the past several months, Demmin has collected juggling records from youth soccer players all across Mississippi. On Saturday, May 1, Demmin will attempt to beat the state’s combined total of juggles. After beating the state’s score, he will continue juggling in an attempt to break the Guinness Book of World Records of juggling for 24 hours straight.
The current record holder, Dan Magness from the United Kingdom, will be on hand for the event. Joining Magness at the event to entertain through freestyle juggling will be Charlotte Lade from Norway. Lade currently holds the record for the most Around the Worlds by a female.
There will also be a 3v3 tournament during the event. The tournament will be a qualifier for Walt Disney World’s National 3v3 tournament held in August.
