Hello,

Starting this week for reminding of the fall season goalie training will be moved to Thursday evening instead Tuesday.

We are excited to be able to get SGA coaching staff to work this fall season with our Sporting CT goalkeepers. Dan Gaspar is one of the best American soccer coaches with incredible soccer career and for our kids to be able to be coach by him and his coaching staff is something special.

Dan Gaspar coach in 3 World Cup's with Portugal, South Africa and Iran and he is only American coach to be working with all 3 top Portugal clubs SL Benfica, FC Porto and Sporting FC. He was also coach for University of Hartford and Central Connecticut State University. 

Goalkeepers training will be on Thursday nights on grass field #2 next to shed.

6-7pm 2013-2011 boys and girls goalkeepers

7-8pm 2010-2008 boys and girls goalkeepers

Goalie session will  run each Thursday until November 4nd. Rain dates are November 11th.

We highly encourage all goalkeepers to attend this sessions. If your team practice at same time goalkeeper session will take priority over Sporting CT training. (you can join your team after goalie training is over).

Hello everyone,

Please find bellow information from Gia grandparents Skip and Debby. We can thank you enough to all our Sporting CT families and others that are not part of our club for reaching out to us and asking how everyone can help Vincelett family in this difficult time.

If you can please donate to the fund set up in the Gia memory.

Regards,

Sporting CT Board of Directors.

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 20^th.  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.

Donations can be sent to:

The Gianna Rose Vincelett Memorial Fund

Hello everyone,

Please find bellow the email from Giana grandparents Skip and Debby Vincelett. We are all devasted with the news please keep family in your prayers.

To our Sporting CT soccer family,

It is with incredible sadness that we are writing to say that Gia has died of the injuries she sustained on Thursday night. We are overwhelmed by the thoughtful messages of support we have received from all of you. Gia meant the world to us, and as we are writing this we came to realize that she was not only a source of great happiness to us, but also the connection that we developed with all of you and your children. When Gia chose to join the Sporting family we had no idea how lucky we were. The closeness of the 07 Girls team and their families is wonderful.

In addition to her Sporting family, she also had Travel Soccer and Basketball families as well as an amazing number of friends in Haddam and Killingworth. We were constantly surprised by her circle of friends and she was the connection to many of those families as well.

We are currently trying to determine how best to remember Gia. Our thoughts are to have a scholarship fund of some type related to her interests with soccer being a primary focus. Debby and I will set up a bank account to which donations can be made.

At this time we have just begun to make final arrangements for Gia. We will let everyone know about the bank account and arrangements as soon as possible.

Thank you for all of your kind words and thoughts.

Debby & Skip Vincelett
