Dedication of the Soccer Fields to Marcus A. GuttersonBordentown Township recently held a Dedication Ceremony at the Joseph Lawrence Park//Veterans Memorial Park on Saturday, May 22, 2021. Bordentown Township was honored to name the parcel of land the Marcus A. Gutterson Soccer Fields – to be ever memorialized in the township to honor all of Marcus Gutterson’s contributions to the sport of Soccer. Marcus A. Gutterson has lived in the township for 63 years with his wife Jeannine and together they have five children. Mr. Gutterson is considered the “Father of Organized Soccer” in Bordentown and has given over 40 years of service to our community. In 1969, Marcus created a team of 18 players to compete against the Hamilton teams; and continued to dedicate hours of his time acquiring uniforms, retaining equipment and sought more suitable fields. He also organized coaches and referees, created team rosters, and handled all the game scheduling. Mr. Gutterson’s efforts paid off and the Community Soccer Association (BCSA) was born. The Association grew from 18 players to over 650 young athletes a year, including both boy and girl divisions and travel ball. Mr. Gutterson organized the end of season banquets and the annual Thanksgiving Day Soccer Tournaments. Furthermore, Marcus was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2002-2003 during the Bordentown Regional High School Ceremony. Marcus A. Gutterson is an exceptional person who worked tirelessly to promote and support all levels of soccer in our community. We honor his meticulous, diligent efforts and recognize that he brought the game of Soccer to our community. |
