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.
