FLASH BINGHAMTON ANNOUNCES NEW GIRLS DIRECTOR OF COACHING

KELSEY FERGUSON WILL JOIN THE CLUB AHEAD OF FLASH BINGHAMTON’S 2024-2025 SEASON

 

April 8, 2024 – The Western New York Flash Academy is proud to announce Kelsey Ferguson as the new Girls Director of Coaching for Flash Binghamton.

Binghamton is the newest region for the Flash, after a merger was announced with BC United in March that will go into effect this Summer.

Ferguson is a familiar face around the club, having coached WNY Flash ECNL teams from 2016-2019. She has also coached for Cornell Women’s Soccer, the SDA Girl’s Academy, Buffalo State, and Lonestar Soccer Club.

Her coaching experience follows a great playing career that included captaining the University of Richmond, and playing for WPSL’s SoccerPlus Connecticut Reds and the W-League’s Vermont Voltage.

“I’m excited to join Paul, Jen and the rest of the staff to build on the great work they’ve done establishing this club in the Central New York area,” says Ferguson.

“I’m thankful to Eric Dade and Aaran Lines for giving me this opportunity, and look forward to bringing the culture, standards and expectations of the WNY Flash Academy to this area to give players and families more opportunities for growth, development and success.”

Ferguson has her USSF National Youth License, and is currently finishing up her USSF A License. She also holds a Level 3 qualification in La Liga Formation Methodology.

“Bringing back Kelsey to the Flash organization in this new exciting role was a no-brainer for us,” says Eric Dade, the Executive Director of Coaching for the Flash Academy.

“We know that her experience and her love for the game will be passed down to all of the players she works with in Central New York. This is a big step in the Binghamton market and we are super excited to have her on board.”

BC United is currently finishing out its 2023-2024 season before becoming a part of the Flash. More than 400 players between the ages of 6 and 18 are a part of the current BC United season.
