Ben Phelps, U18 ’87 Williamsburg Wizards, commits to Averett University

It has been announced today the Ben Phelps, U18 '87 Williamsburg Wizards, has committed to play soccer and attend to Averett University in Danville , Virginia . Ben is a long time member of the Williamsburg Soccer Club (WSC) who has played at both the Wizards and United levels throughout his career. For the past year he has been the goalkeeper for the Wizards after spending time as the starting goalkeeper for the ’87 United team

 

“I had a great experience playing for the WSC. The high point was a trip to Ireland with the club for a tournament during the summer of 2005. I was invited to play for the Cobh Ramblers, a semipro team, during the 2006 season.  Instead, I have decided to continue my education and soccer career at Averett University in Danville , Virginia , where I hope to fill the starting goalkeeper position this fall. I would like to thank Phil Neiland, Johnny Kamara, and Richard Butler for their training and for the many opportunities they have provided for me through WSC”.

 

”Ben has been a committed member of the WSC for the a number of years”, said Director of Coaching, Richard Butler. “He has continually improved over that time and was rewarded this year by being moved up to the Wizard level from the United team. He has a great desire for the game of soccer and I wish him well at Averret”.
