Passion, Energy, Execution, Personal Accountability

Everything we do starts with a passion for the game and a yearning to compete.  We start every session with a positive attitude; accept that our attitude is a decision; and make no excuses for negativity.  We also understand that proper preparation leads to execution.  We train as we play and play as we train.  We expect to out-work every opponent in every game; play intelligently; and execute efficiently. In order to achieve success, on and off the field, we must care more about TEAM than about self.  The attitudes and choices made by any individual member reflect on his or her teammates, coaches, and the Celtic organization as a whole.

Club History

Founded in 2013, Baltimore Celtic SC brings together elite players with top-tier coaches to improve each player’s technical abilities while also developing his or her character on and off the field.

Celtic fields teams from U8 through U18 in both boys and girls teams. Recognized nationally as one of the top clubs in the country, Celtic created markets surrounding Baltimore to allow more players access to local teams as well as the ability to try out for the elite teams.

Boasting a coaching staff of Division I, 2 & 3 college coaches ,current and former professional players, and top high school coaches,  we enjoyed unprecedented success with multiple state and regional titles and 6 National Championships in our first 5 years.

While Celtic has the most National Championships of any local club, we are extremely proud of our track record of a proven pathway to college. Each year, our college signings increase, and Celtic has earned a national reputation of producing top collegiate student athletes.

I believe the single most significant decision I can make on a day-to-day basis is my choice of attitude. It is more important than my past, my education, my bankroll, my successes or failures, fame or pain, what other people think of me, my circumstances, or my position. Attitude keeps me going or cripples my progress. It alone fuels my fire or assaults my hope. When my attitudes are right, there is no barrier too high, no valley too deep, no dream too extreme, no challenge too great for me.” – Charles Swindoll
