"Destiny is not a matter of chance; it is a
matter of choice. It is not a thing to be
waited for; it is a thing to be achieved." - William Jennings Bryan

Dreadhead began in 1994 by accident when Kenny Bonnett Jr., a student at Rollins College was procrastinating on a term paper. Instead of writing his paper he began to doodle what is now the Dreadhead Logo. Originally he was going to call the logo and company "The One and Only", Kenny's self proclaimed nickname. He later thought it was too arrogant and settled with naming the company more or less after his hair style which was Dreads. In 1994 Kenny began as a sole proprietorship, coached youth soccer and sold t-shirts with the Dreadhead Logo, a character sketch of himself and other cool drawings at various colleges: Rollins College, Ohio Wesleyan, WakeForest, UNCC, Santa Barbra, Eckerd College and Stetson University. Coaching youth soccer was his passion and he was extremely good at it. He enjoyed the idea of helping soccer players get to the next level and took great pride knowing that he was part of their soccer development. Kenny's personality and coaching ability was a huge success, helping him to sell out of his apparel on every campus during the summer time.

In the spring of 1997 Dreadhead Company was incorporated, nationally trademarked and began the 1st camp with 13 campers at Lake Island Park in Winter Park. 10 years later Dreadhead Soccer Camps boast many locations all over Central Florida & NY with over 1,000 campers each summer. Kenny is now responsible for the direction of the company, camps, curriculum and planning. Dreadhead would like to thank each and every parent, camper, location, administrator, sponsor, friend, coach, and soccer enthusiast who believed in him and gave him a chance.
