Charleston, SC. The Charleston Battery has been named the USL-2 Organization of the Year; the Battery received the award at the recent USL AGM Awards banquet held in Tampa, FL. The award follows a tremendous season for the Charleston Battery that saw the veteran franchise win the USL-2 championship, enjoy increased average attendances, and play several high profile exhibition matches including a July game against the English Premier League's Bolton Wanderers.

The award is presented each year to one franchise in recognition of outstanding performances and excellence off the field during the previous season.

Charleston Battery President Andrew Bell said, "This is a fitting tribute to the hard work and long hours that our staff has invested into the Club over the past year. I am very proud of the team, the technical staff, the front office and our stadium crew all of whom have contributed with 100% effort to a wonderful season."

The awards ceremony also featured USL Hall of Fame inductions with the late Betsy McAdams inducted in the Builder category. Betsy McAdams passed away in 2009 after a courageous battle with brain cancer. Betsy joined the Charleston Battery staff in 1993, the year the Club was formed; she went on to serve in a number of roles including Director of Operations and Director of Finance & Business Administration; she was named Chief Operating Officer in May 2008.

The Charleston Battery will kick off its 19th season in 2011 beginning with the annual pre-season tournament, the Carolina Challenge Cup featuring Major League Soccer.
