Over the last few weeks we have been working very hard on speeding up the process of launching the new SportingCT.com website.
The new website will be on SportingCT.com domain, while we will still keep SportingCT.org active until we fully transition everything on the new website. This process will take a few months and all our upcoming registrations will be done on the new website (SportingCT.com).
We wanted the new website to look clean, be mobile friendly, informative, easy to navigate and find the right information quick. Details are crucial because we want to be the best that’s out there. We have done lots of research and marketing analysis to ensure we provide the latest and best technology, design, ease and functionality. Our members deserve the best and we want to make sure we do our ultimate best to offer that.
Feel free to navigate through our new website and familiarize yourself with the menu bar to find the program that best fits your needs. There is a lot of information available on our site as we want to make sure we keep everything organized and transparent.
Your feedback is important as we always look to improve on everything we do. This is not just our new advanced website, it’s OUR FAMILY WEBSITE.
Happy Friday to all and good luck this weekend with your league and state cup games!

The summer months are full of traveling and fun activities but at the same time we want to offer opportunities for our players to stay active, get lots of touches on the ball and play in a fun and challenging team environment.
Sporting CT UWS Women team - Sponsorship Opportunities
Hello Sporting Families,
In May, our Sporting CT Women's soccer program starts back up. Last year the team swept through the UWS2 League (United Women's Soccer) with a perfect record of 7-0 scoring 44 goals and conceding only 2 - this year we have been promoted to UWS1 (1st Division) and we will also keep a team in UWS2. To date, we have over 50 players interested in participating.
The purpose of the program is to provide the best female training and playing environment for as little cost to the players as possible. There isn't enough quality summer programming for females and we want to help fix that. The majority of our players are current college players - we also have some former professionals. Players represent schools such as UConn, Penn State, Quinnipiac, Fairfield, Univ of Hartford, Central CT, UMass Amherst, Virginia Wesleyan, Springfield College, Seton Hall, UNC Greensboro, and New Haven, just to name a few. It's an extremely talented and committed group of women. Coaching again this year are Tiffany Weimer and Matt Cameron; both USSF 'A' license coaches. Tiff and Matt are well known for their commitment to the female game.
We're reaching out because we're looking for sponsors and donations. UWS league fees alone are upwards of $10k; additionally we have to pay for uniforms, trainers for home matches, facility rental (when we play at Xavier), coaching stipend, and referee fees. We'd like to not have to charge the players more than $250 per for the summer; in order to do that we need your help and support.
We are proud and confident in the product we provide; this summer our players will get 30 training sessions, 8 UWS league matches, and friendlies. Other local women's summer offerings are going for $500 per player for 16 training sessions and 8 local summer league games.
Lastly, this program provides our younger Sporting players the opportunity to experience what the high level senior game is like. Our Sporting youth players are strongly encouraged to attend our home matches so they can see and feel the quality up close.
Please consider giving to the program so we can serve these women the way they deserve:
Uniform jersey sponsor and website logo add = $ 3000
CCR Fields banner and website logo add= $ 650
Donations can be sent to MYS P.O Box 852 Middletown CT 06457
Middletown Youth Soccer is a non profit 501 C 3 organization and donations can be tax exempt.
Thanks for your consideration and support any questions feel free to contact our Sporting CT Executive Director Goran Vasic at goran@sportingct.com

To our Sporting CT soccer family,
Thank you for the outpouring of support in the past few days. Gia’s friends from soccer and basketball and their families have all reached out to us. We feel thankful that we were able to attend a gathering of Gia’s teammates on Sunday to see the girls and their parents. After many tearful moments initially, everyone was able to begin to remember Gia as the happy, energetic, funny young woman that she was. We hope this gathering helped the girls as much as it helped us. Goran, Andrei, Dylan, Emilie and Frank also attended and we were very glad to see them.
Gia’s mom, Megan, is planning a celebration of Gia’s life in the upcoming weeks. We think it will be held on Friday, August 20th. As soon as the details are finalized we will let you all know. Megan wishes to have one celebration for everyone Gia touched in all aspects of her life. Everyone will be invited.
We have set up a memorial fund at Liberty Bank in Haddam. We plan to use the fund to support a soccer scholarship at Sporting CT for a deserving female player and hopefully for a female soccer player from Haddam-Killingworth High School who is going on to play in college.
