Bethlehem Falcons

First, I 'd like to thank everyone for their participation in what will be our last recreational tournament yesterday. The boys played their hearts out by making it to the semi-finals, made an excellent showing but ultimately were beaten by clubs that have been together for quite some time. Additionally, that was our first indoor tournament and it was excellent experience for them. I saw Dave Thomsen taking lots of pictures so hopefully we can get them out to the parents at some point.

Not wanting to loose our summer and fall momentum started in 2011, the Bethlehem Falcons have opted to continue practice indoor during the winter. We are still looking for U10 and U12 players to join us. Practices continue Tuesday and Sundays at In the Zone. If you have a child who is serious about learning the game of soccer and is committed to playing for the spring/summer and fall seasons of 2012 please contact the manager, This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

WOW...what a weekend. The Falcons spent the Columbus Day weekend 10/8 and 10/9 participating in two Tournaments. The first day was hosted by the Parkland Area Soccer Club and in true Falcon fashion they placed first in the U12 boys division. This is especially exciting since most of the boys  on the team are of only U10 age. Coach Ivor has been training them hard and they were ready for this weekend. Congratulations to the rest of the teams. It was also an awsome day to play soccer. Falcon parents came together and set-up a nice place for everyone to relax between games

Second day was spent a the First Annual UMYA Soccer Tournament. This was a tougher day for the Falcons and although they pulled out mostly wins, they faced a tougher team in the afternoon and lost one game. As luck would have it they achieved enough points to play in the championship round underneath the lights at the East Side Youth Center. Their opponent was indeed the Mini Mustangs the team they lost to ealier in the day.

The Bethlehem Falcons participated in the Sage Stauffer Memorial Tournement today. Friends and family have organized this annual soccer tournament as a "Celebration of Life" to remember and honor the amazing boy that Sage was. Their objectives include: improving the skill sets of all players with small-sided games, bringing Sage’s love of the game to other kids, promoting healthy lifestyles, and building relationships and teamwork throughout the soccer community. Proceeds from the tournament benefit the fund in memory of Sage which will be used to provide a scholarship and bicycle safety training.

With the bare minimum of players the Bethlehem Falcons managed to place 1st in the boys U10. We are extremely proud of their performance and feel honored to have participated.
