Soccer Club of Newington

What ages and program levels does Soccer Club of Newington offer?Pre-K serves the youngest players in coed groups; spring 2026 divisions align with 2021–2023 birth years. Junior recreational soccer covers boys and girls ages 5–7, senior recreational covers ages 8–15, and classic travel targets roughly ages 8–15 with a full fall-and-spring commitment. TOPSoccer welcomes athletes with intellectual, emotional, or physical disabilities in its own boys’ and girls’ divisions separate from the other tracks.

Where does the club train or play, and how are weather closures handled?Club mail goes to 51 Standard Street and PO Box 310819 in Newington, CT 06111, and the club maintains a field directory plus online field-status notes geared to practice nights. Full practice cancellations go to registered families by email and are repeated on the club’s Facebook presence, with coaches covering exceptions. Saturday Pre-K and junior rec calls happen by 7:00 a.m.; Connecticut Cup travel games follow Connecticut Cup decision times; other travel and senior rec games follow kickoff-based windows up to a 2:30 p.m. decision for evening games. Lightning within 10 miles forces a 30-minute evacuation after each strike.

When is registration open, and how do travel tryouts work?Families enroll through Stack Sports whenever divisions are open, each with its own close date and season span. Travel tryouts run as separate registration cycles; email boystraveldirector@newingtonsoccer.org or girlstraveldirector@newingtonsoccer.org for the current tryout schedule and signup steps.

What do families pay for Pre-K or TOPSoccer right now?Spring 2026 TOPSoccer divisions show a $25 fee. Spring 2026 Pre-K coed divisions in Stack Sports show $85 at checkout, while Pre-K has also used a $75 early rate before mid-February, then $85 for Newington residents and $115 for non-residents for the six-week season—always confirm the amount at checkout. Recreation and travel pricing appears when those programs are active in Stack Sports.

What is the club’s mission or philosophy?SCN focuses on giving Newington children the chance to play soccer and enjoy it, growing love for the sport, confidence, respect, sportsmanship, pride in the community, and strong training and health habits. The organization is entirely volunteer-led at the board and program-director level.
