BWG 1998 Team NY State Cup Champions

This past weekend our 1998 team captured the NY State cup championship with a 4-1 victory over Met Oval. This is their second title in 3 years.

The game was tied after regulation and the boys went on fire, scoring three goals in quick succession for a deserved victory.

Also, Congratulations to the BW Gottschee Blue 2003 team.

They are having a  great season in their league and this past weekend they played in the  finals of the NY CUP. They gave it their all on the field to finish second in a very tough final game.

In Pre Academy action this weekend BW Gottschee went 2-1 against MLS club NY Red Bulls.

In U13 action the two top ranked teams in the country matched up. BWG took a deserved lead into the half on a Matteo Ritaccio after good work by Tim Weah. The second half BWG's dominant ball possession paid off with a quality finish from DJ Cook. Red Bulls pulled one back and Ben Peretz headed in the insurance goal for a 3-1 scoreline.

In U14 action Red Bulls raced out into a 2-0 lead in the first half. In a game of two halfs BWG dominated the second but couldnt get on the board.

The U15 game pitted one against four in the standings with first place BWG coming out 1-0 winners. The first half was scoreless with not many chances for either team. In the second half big Grant Burg latched onto a cross to head home. Red bulls pressed for a tie but BWG held out for a deserved win.

BW Gottschee shines at first ever US Soccer U13/14 Futsal event

Read article at US SOCCER here

The U.S. Soccer Development Academy, in its continual effort to progress and enhance player development, has announced the launch of an Under-13/14 division starting in the Fall of 2013. The U-13/14 Academy Program will feature many of the current Academy clubs and select clubs from outside of the current Academy structure.

The program will be based on the same philosophy as the older Academy age groups, featuring more training sessions, less games and more meaningful games. The competitive schedule will place a greater emphasis on local games due to the younger ages of the players and will also include a futsal component during the winter. TRYOUT INFO

BW Gottschee recently held their College night to get a better understanding the College Soccer Recruiting Process - a night for our U15, U16, U17 and U18 BWG players and parents. This informative evening served as an invaluable opportunity to learn in detail how to successfully navigate the college search and recruiting process as well as get insight into how BW Gottschee assists and focuses on the college bound athlete's successful placement. Topics covered included NCAA Eligibility Center process, NCAA Regulations and Guidelines, how to create a soccer resumes, how to identify and select the appropriate college and the steps to properly communicate with college coaches (what works and what does not).
