More exciting news about our Sporting CT program coming out soon..

Hello Sporting Families, 

We would like to encourage our players to take some of the US Soccer coaching licenses that the Federation has made available. Those are online grassroots courses that are great for coaches, coaching parents who volunteer and our players who truly want to expand their knowledge about the game and work with kids. 

Please click here to LEARN MORE about the US Soccer Online education program. 

Click Here to Create a FREE Coaching Profile. 

Click here to learn more about the REFEREE Program. 

Each grassroots coaching course is about 1-2 hours long at most and it costs $25 . Those are great introductory courses that will help our players knowledge and teach them how to become better leaders by working and helping the younger kids through camps, clinics, and different training or leadership programs. 

We already have a good number of our older players who are reffing and helping coach at different clinics throughout the year. This is a great way to earn community service hours and later on get paid. It's also a great way to coach a few hours a week while in college. 

We would highly recommend to all our high school players who enjoy working with kids to take the online courses for 4vs4, 7vs7, 9vs9 and 11vs11 to build a great coaching foundation that will not only help them with their soccer path but also in their life. We want to build leaders within our teams and communities and the more we use our resources the more knowledgeable we become. 

Please take a look at the photo below to find out more about the Coaching License Pathway and the Referee Pathway. 

Also, if you would like to work in our 3vs3 Tourney, Spring Camp or Clinics just let us know. 

For those who are interested in the referee program.

Andrei Popescu

Sporting Director of Futsal and College Pathway

Hello Sporting Families,

We all want our players to lead fulfilling and healthy lives. At SportingCT our parents are no different. Watching your child follow his or her passion is beyond satisfying. It is a sensational feeling full of joy and fulfillment. That is what it feels like to have your student-athletes attend Sporting. We care about all our players and parents and we want to help and prepare you for the college level if that's your goal. We have created a detailed High School Timeline so players and parents can follow and easily find the information they need to easily identify the right school fit. 

We always take our service to another level and as a result, we keep preparing ourselves to always serve you in the best way possible. When it comes to college recruiting this is not a 4 years choice, IT'S A LIFETIME DECISION. That's why it's important that we educate our players and parents to understand the differences in divisions so they can keep a broader perspective. Once student-athletes know what they want they will be closer in identifying the right school fit based on their academics and athletic abilities. If you have any questions please contact our College Pathway Director, Andrei Popescu at info@lead2rise.com. 

Please feel free to look at the latest information released by NCAA: 

• Academic Requirements and Core Courses
• Our Three Divisions 
• 2019/20 Guide For The Collge Bound Student-Athlete 

If you can't view the information in this email please click here to read the timeline on our Sporting website. 

COLLEGE RECRUITING TIMELINE

FRESHMEN YEAR

• Start planning now, take the right courses and get the best grades possible.

•  

  SIGN UP for a FREE profile page at EligibilityCenter.org for information on NCAA Eligibility. 

  Find your high school list of NCAA approved courses at EligibilityCenter.org/courselist.

  Build a powerful resume and always keep it updated. 

   

• Your grades are crucial and be on top of it. If you are falling behind ask for help immediately. 

• Your high school will calculate your GPA, which will correspond with your class rank. Eventually, these statistics will be used to determine your admission into schools and potential academic scholarship. 

• Most colleges will use your grades from your “core” academic classes:  

• Go watch local D1, D2, D3 college games to get an understanding of the different levels of college soccer in the United States

• You are not only competing against local and state talent but also international players. 

SOPHOMORE YEAR

• Continue to focus on your grades and begin to challenge yourself with Honors and Advanced Placement (AP) classes and if your school offers it, Dual Enrollment classes where students can earn both high school and college credits. 

• Take the PSATs in the fall. Most area high schools will offer this test for free during the regular school day. This is a great opportunity for students to become accustomed to the test format and test length. 

• Contact college coaches of schools you may be interested in (see questions below for help) prior to college showcases and once your resume is in place. 

• College Showcase Tournaments will list the college coaches that will be attending that specific tournament: 

• Attend college ID clinics and summer camps of schools that you may be interested in (use the questions below as a guide)

• Go watch local D1, D2, D3 college games to get an understanding of the different levels of college soccer in the United States. 

• Plan college visits and take tours of schools you may be interested in. 

• By the end of your sophomore year in high school, you should try to identify 20-30 potential schools that meet your academic and athletic aspirations. 

• If you know that you want to play Division I or Division II college soccer, register with the NCAA Eligibility Center at the beginning of your junior year. If you are unsure about what level you want to compete at you can still register: 

• Always keep your options up until you commit. 

• Consider D3 schools as well because they can often time offer great academic packages. 

JUNIOR YEAR

• Continue to focus on your grades and begin to challenge yourself with Honors and Advanced Placement (AP) classes and if your school offers it, Dual Enrollment classes where students can earn both high school and college credits. 

• Your junior year is a very important year for your academics and a year that colleges will focus on when they examine your transcript, so continue to work hard and stay focused. 

• Register to take the SAT and/or the ACT tests

• When you register for the SAT or ACT, you can have your scores sent directly to the NCAA Eligibility Center using the code 9999

• Contact college coaches of schools you may be interested in (see questions below for help) prior to college showcases. 

• Structure your email to coaches and look at our photos below. 

• College Showcase Tournaments will list the college coaches that will be attending that specific tournament: 

• Attend college ID clinics and summer camps of schools that you may be interested in (use the questions below as a guide)

• Go watch local D1, D2, D3 college games to get an understanding of the different levels of college soccer in US or near you. 

• Plan college visits and take tours of schools you may be interested in. 

• By the end of your junior year in high school, you should try to identify 10-12 potential schools that you are seriously considering based on your academic and athletic aspirations. 

• Be proactive with the recruiting process and email coaches. 

• Time management is a skill that can be mastered and by now you should be able to have a good idea because you need to plan accordingly and stay on top of your work. 

• Consider both academics and athletics in your final decision and ask yourself “If I’m not playing soccer at this school, is this the school that I still want to be at?”. If you answered YES, then that's the school for you. 

SENIOR YEAR

• There is a misconception that colleges will not look at your senior year grades - this is very inaccurate. Your senior grades will be sent to the colleges you apply to and they will be factored into the admissions process. Stay focused and continue to work hard

• At the beginning of your senior year, you should have your college search narrowed down to 2-5 schools that you are seriously considering

• Confirm your eligibility status with the NCAA Clearinghouse at the start of your senior year

• Register to take the SAT and/or the ACT tests in the fall

• Meet with your guidance counselor, apply to the schools that you are seriously considering and ask selected teachers to write you a letter of recommendation. Be mindful of application deadlines as every school is different

• Submit your FAFSA application. This determines how much aid you qualify to receive:  

• Plan any final college visits and tours in the fall. 

• Contact any of the colleges that you are seriously considering prior to any event you could get scouted. 

• Follow up with all of the schools you are seriously considering and weigh your options before making your final decision. 

• Consider both academics and athletics in your final decision and ask yourself “If I’m not playing soccer at this school, is this the school that I still want to be at?”. If you answered YES, then that's the school for you. 

ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS

• If you want to play sports at an NCAA Division I or II school, start by registering for a Certification Account with the NCAA Eligibility Center at eligibilitycenter.org. If you want to play Division III sports or you aren’t sure where you want to compete, start by creating a Profile Page at eligibilitycenter.org. 

  • To play sports at a Division I or II school, you must graduate from high school, complete 16 NCAA-approved core courses, earn a minimum GPA and earn an ACT or SAT score that matches your core-course GPA.

   

  

   

        CORE COURSES

  • Only courses that appear on your high school’s list of NCAA core courses will count toward the 16 core-course requirement; visiteligibilitycenter.org/courselist for a full list of your high school’s approved core courses. Complete 16 core courses in the following areas: 

    Division 1 - Complete 10 NCAA core courses, including seven in English, math or natural/physical science, before your seventh semester.

    GRADE-POINT AVERAGE

    The NCAA Eligibility Center calculates your grade-point average based only on the grades you earn in NCAA-approved core courses.

    • DI requires a minimum 2.3 GPA. 

    • DII requires a minimum 2.2 GPA.

     

    SLIDING SCALE

    Divisions I and II use sliding scales to match test scores and GPAs to determine eligibility. The sliding scale balances your test score with your GPA. If you have a low test score, you need a higher GPA to be eligible. Find more information about test scores at ncaa.org/test-scores.

     

    TEST SCORE

    You may take the SAT or ACT an unlimited number of times before you enroll full time in college. Every time you register
    for the SAT or ACT, use the NCAA Eligibility Center code 9999 to send your scores directly to us from the testing agency. We accept official scores only from the ACT or SAT, and won’t use scores shown on your high school transcript. If you take either test more than once, the best subscore from different tests are used to give you the best possible score.

Hello,

We want to thank all our members for coming to Italian society club Tuesday night for college pathway presentation. Coach Andrei did fantastic job with his presentation and we had some great college coaches in attendants that give us some very valuable informations to help out our athletes choose what is right way for each of them  to go about choosing college they want to attend.

We hope all of you had great time.

Hello Sporting CT families,

Our Sporting CT 2003 boys had attend Nationals tournament in Aurora Colorado this past weekend. What a great exposure for our club and our team this trip was. It was nice to be around one of the best teams in USA and compete against teams from other states. We tied our first game 1-1 against team from California, second game we won 2-0 against team from NY and our last game we lost 2-0 against Columbus Ohio team.

Overall  we miss semifinals on goal differential but we are so proud of run this team had last 6-7 months. Our boys had won so many tournaments, league games, playoff games and made it to nationals as CT State cup champions. We set bars very high before season started with our goals and we made almost to the end one game short of nationals championship game but we have something to look forward next year and get better individually and as team and come back for national championship trophy...

This boys are great example for all our younger age group teams that with hard work, talent and good coaching everything is possible, we are all looking forward for more Sporting CT teams to reach this level and expirience next level of play in tournaments like this one..

Congratulations to our Sporting CT coaches and players on winning the State Cup. When you see great success at this level it starts with the right player developmental philosophy which our club continuously works on implementing daily in all our players.

Without committed, hard working and talented players and coaches who endlessly dedicate their time and trust into our club over a long period of time, none of this would be possible.

When all the details are in place, the big picture will come once we master the execution process. It’s easy to see our goals and objectives coming to life. This is a process and it can be very beneficial if you commit yourself to it and give it your best no matter the outcome.
