ATL CELTICS, Inc. has
a history of "intermittently" 
sponsoring a girls’ team, but 
had never fielded more than 
three teams annually.    

That all changed in August, 
2006 when Karl McCray 
approved the formation 
of a girls' division.  
     
The new division consisted of 
a merger of five teams - ages 
12 to 16 years - coached by 
Maurice Antoine, Roderick 
Collier, Sebastian Gladman, 
Renardo Hudson, Daphne 
Pierce-Smith and Scot Waldrop.
 
Daphne Pierce-Smith was 
appointed General Manager
of the girls' division 
by the CELTICS board.
