It is BAC’s mission to create a meaningful, positive experience for the travel players; to develop soccer skills; and to teach the lessons associated with team play (i.e., sportsmanship, building self-esteem).

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE U11 FREEDOM - FINALISTS IN THE BULL RUN TOURNAMENT

 

Congratulations to Burke AC Blue Thunder (U-11 Boys) -- 2009 Virginian Champions!

Thunder scored 19 goals and conceded just 4 in the five matches leading to the U-11 Virginian title over Memorial Day weekend. In the championship match, Thunder came from a goal down to win a thrilling contest, 2-1 over Alexandria Arsenal White. Gianfranco Rodriguez and Andres Villarreal netted for Thunder, with Villarreal’s goal coming on a looping header with 14 minutes to play. Thunder played solid defense throughout the tournament, and didn’t allow more than a single goal to any opponent.

Team members (L to R): Neil Finnegan, Andres Villarreal, Gianfranco Rodriguez, Cameron Lane, Jake Hartup, Ben Bilbro, Coach Grant Hartup, Blake Lawrence, Brandon Metzler, J.W. Clark, Reid Cunningham, Andrew Schiffer, Jason Soma and Connor Dougherty.

Way to go, THUNDER!
