Craig Faulkner and Mark Guthrie developed the Florida Burn ten years ago. The organization's directors have been lifelong teammates and friends while attending Venice High School and Louisiana State University.
While at LSU Faulkner and Guthrie learned their blueprint for success under the tutelage of legendary coach, Skip Bertman.
The majority of the Burn staff has also developed as players and coaches under both Faulkner and Guthrie. The continuity that this has created has made the Florida Burn unique in its teaching philosophies and second to none in organizational communication as well as player development.
