Southington Soccer Club

What the club offers

Small Stars introduces the youngest players with six-week outdoor blocks: one forty-five-minute session per week on either Wednesday or Friday, with spring divisions often grouped around birth years 2021–2023 and a $130 outdoor fee in the spring 2026 registration window. The Academy program (sometimes labeled Rising Stars Academy) gives emerging players eight weeks of training plus a weekly game block—typically Tuesday training and Thursday games for an hour each—with shirts included and a $195 player fee in that same spring window for divisions such as 2019–2020 birth years. Older academy bands extend up through about birth year 2013 in other seasonal program cycles.

In-town recreation is the non-travel option for families who want a lighter commitment than travel. Spring 2026 registration described an eight-week block with Monday training and Saturday morning games, two touches per week, a club T-shirt, and a $195 fee, with divisions spanning co-ed birth-year bands such as 2016–2019 and 2012–2015 depending on the open roster pool.

Travel serves boys and girls from about ages seven through high school, with teams formed by birth year from U-8 through U-19 and multiple teams possible in busy age groups. Travel training is generally twice a week for about ninety minutes, weekend league games under lights at Recreation Park for home dates, and away trips that usually stay within about thirty to forty-five minutes though a few opponents can be farther. Optional tournaments fall and spring are chosen by coaches, players, and parents together. Travel enrollment is summarized at $375 for the program package described alongside fall, winter, and spring seasonal blocks; the exact charge appears at Stack Sports checkout for each open division.

Winter and indoor training

From November into April the club runs indoor programming. Winter Small Stars covers thirteen Sunday afternoon sessions at All Access Sports in Plainville for birth years 2019–2021 at $175. Winter Academy uses the same facility window for birth years 2016–2018 at $175 for thirteen weeks. Travel winter training runs thirteen weeks at $100 with day and time set after teams form; league games head to FSA in Farmington for many groups (often the second and third indoor sessions January–April), with an extra game fee split across rosters. Total winter travel indoor costs have landed around $260–$275 per player once training and game shares are combined, and some age groups may require tryouts before rostering.

Where teams train and play

Recreation Park on Maxwell Noble Drive in Plantsville is SSC’s outdoor hub, with field sizes from 4v4 through 11v11, floodlights for year-round access, concessions, and an on-site office. Home travel matches are scheduled there, and Sunday assignments sometimes move to Southington High School when the league schedule requires it. Winter technical work concentrates at All Access Sports on Neal Court in Plainville, while many winter travel games move to Farmington Sports Arena (FSA) in Farmington.

Tryouts, placement, and registration

Travel teams are rebuilt each cycle through open tryouts held in the summer; families hear from Southington staff after evaluations conclude. Players are expected to attend practices and games, notify coaches ahead of absences, and roster sizes reflect travel director and coach decisions based on availability. Tournament schedules usually mean three to six games in a weekend event. Families enroll and pay through Stack Sports by choosing Register, then Available Programs when divisions are open; spring academy, Small Stars, and in-town blocks for 2026 used April–June season dates with early-April registration closes.

Mission, values, and coaching tone

SSC aims to deliver developmental soccer that builds confidence, technique, social skills, and a family feel inside the club. Core values call for player-first decisions, inclusive environments, strong coach education, clear communication from youngest programs through travel, community growth for the game, support for the local high school program, and long-term relationships. The Academy track stresses first touch, dribbling, passing and receiving, shooting, attacking moves, teamwork, and sportsmanship while keeping sessions fun. Travel emphasizes licensed coaching staff and club “DNA” through higher workloads and CJSA league competition.
