Melbourne Football Stars (MFS) is an organisation that provides Melbourne's Youth with an opportunity to travel to Scotland & England to gain an insight into the world of professional Football.
George Campbell, the Head Coach and Director, has coached at various levels within Victorian Football ranging from the Victorian (FFV) U14 & U15 State Teams and in the Victorian Premier League with Essendon FC. George currently holds a FIFA B License in Football Coaching.
This coupled with a professional playing career in Scotland’s Premier League with Aberdeen FC and with numerous clubs in Australia’s National League including South Melbourne FC whilst also representing his country, Scotland at the UEFA European Youth Championship Qualifiers, has provided him with an understanding of what is required to coach and play Football at an elite level. This football pedigree, combined with a proven track record in business delivers a set of skill that equips George to coach and manage Football programs at all levels.

SFA HEAD OF COACHING EDUCATION - DONALD PARK
Donald Park has praised the initiative of the MFS Tour and supports the philosophies of Melbourne Football STARS.
(He said) “The MFS Tour provides clubs in both Scotland & England with an opportunity to view Australian talent at it’s best. I have been very impressed with the attitude of the lads who have represented Melbourne Football STARS and they have shown that Australia has alot of talented players at youth level.
We have experienced teams from Australia who have not been at a level good enough to mix it with academies over here and this has not reflected what Australia really has to offer.
I am looking forward to seeing what MFS has to offer on their upcoming Tour in November/December 2009 - I am sure they will be well organised and competitive if last year is any gauge.”
