In their first pre-season friendly, the BEC Celtics U12 girls were victorious in a 3-0 shutout of the FC Sting Wizards ’98 team from New York. The FC Sting Wizards ’98, aka Westchester Wizards have only been together less than a year, and showed they will be a team of the future as their U12 season kicks in. The BEC coaching staff were very pleased with the girls’ first effort, half way thru preseason. Next up will be the NJSA Ultimate Labor Day Tournament.

The spring and summer of 2010 has seen the emergence of many club mergers, club formations and switches in the youth soccer landscape. For the BEC U11 girls, the Spring season has ended with a very exciting move for the team with its announcement that they will join Nino Luppi’s NJ STALLIONS’ ACADEMY based out of Clifton, NJ beginning with the 2010/2011 season. General Manager, Rich Gentile, of NJ Stallions Academy met with the BEC Coaching Staff and both agreed the move would be mutually beneficial for both organizations. With the success that the BEC Girls have had the past 2 years, the staff at BEC saw it was time to join a structure and environment that would allow the girls to continue its developmental path in an atmosphere that was competitive and nurturing. They have found it in the NJ STALLIONS’ ACADEMY. The BEC U12 girls will still hold the team name of “BEC Celtics” but are excited to become one of NJ STALLIONS ACADEMY’s new elite girls’ teams.
