Beaufort Academy names new coach
Bruce Marroquin has been named the new soccer coach at Beaufort Academy.
Marroquin replaces Steve Aldred, who stepped down after one season. The New York native has been at the YMCA and has 28 years of soccer experience.
Marroquin will be assisted by by Taylor Dunphy and David Byrne.
“Since working with the both adult and youth soccer programs and teaching private lessons, I think it’s important to lead by example and focus on teaching the fundamentals, while maintaining a positive coaching attitude,” Marroquin said.
“Bruce is going to bring great energy and expertise to the position. He has a great background as a player and is quickly becoming a big name in the community for his investment in the sport,” Beaufort Academy athletic director Nick Field said.
