Who we are:
The Stonington Soccer
Club is a private, non-profit, all volunteer Soccer club established for
youths who express the desire and commitment to participate in soccer
at a competitive level of play. We belong to the Connecticut Junior
Soccer Association (CJSA) which is affiliated with the United States
Youth Soccer Association (USYSA). We play in the Southeast District of
the CJSA. We are governed by all the rules and regulations of both CJSA
and USYSA. We are not affiliated with either the Town of Stonington
Recreation Dept. or the Stonington Community Center. We do, however,
peacefully co-exist with the two. All Club business is decided by an
elected, nine member Board of Directors.
Who can play:
We offer both Girls and
Boys teams in the under 10 age group, under 12, and under 14. We do have
U16 and above teams affiliated with the Club that play in tournaments.
Any youth from Stonington or surrounding communities including (North
Stonington, Voluntown, etc) who has the desire and commitment to train
and play competition soccer is eligible.
Our Mission:
To
provide a safe, fun environment for fitness training, soccer training
and development. Emphasis is on skill building, team work, fair play,
sportsmanship, and developing an overall understanding and passion for
soccer. Part of the development process can lead to higher levels of
competition such as district premier teams, and certainly high school
play.
Our Facility:
The
Stonington Soccer Club field is located on Taugwonk Road in Stonington,
at the Exit 91 off Route 95, next to the commuter parking lot. Our
present field is approx. 65 yards wide x 110 yards long, serviced by an
irrigation system. It is maintained by Club members on a volunteer
basis. We also have a 24 x 48 foot all purpose building, which serves as
maintenance/storage garage; concession stand, and meeting hall. We do
have land for expansion, which is currently being discussed.
