To our Hartwell Travel Soccer Community:

This is a reminder that this weekend is Silent Sidelines - May 18th to 19th.  This is an event that CJSA and our Hartwell soccer club supports and we are asking for your help and support as well.

The goals of Silent Sidelines Weekend are to:

• develop our players to make decisions on the field without sideline intervention

• improve the players’ communication on the field by reducing the outside noise level

• support our youth referees by eliminating dissension from the sidelines

For a larger perspective on the history of Silent Sidelines, please click/see the attached write up on the CJSA site - Silent Sidelines. 

Good luck this weekend and hope all our players enjoy the Silent Sidelines experience.  Thank you for helping us ensure a positive environment for our Hartwell players.

 - GHSC

The Hartwell Boys U16 team won their league game against Wethersfield in a heart felt 1-0 victory Sunday afternoon.  The boys secured a win after Luke Schroeder found the back of the net late in the second half.  The game was evenly matched with both teams denying several attacking runs on goal.  

The boys dedicated this game in honor of Jeff Conner who recently passed away after a courageaous battle with cancer.  The orange arm bands the team wore represented Syracuse where Jeff graduated from and was an avid sports fan.  His son, Chris Conner, has been playing soccer for Hartwell for many years and is a cherished team mate and friend to the boys

This year's Hartwell Warm-up Tournament is dedicated to Hartwell's Travel Director, Michael J. Newhouse (1971 - 2013).  Mike coached for Hartwell for the past 9 years - both in the Rec and Travel division.  In addition, to coaching, he served on the GHSC's Board of Directors as the Travel Director for the past year.  His leadership, insight and total commitment to Hartwell's mission will be missed by many.  The GHSC Board would like to thank Mike for his unselfish dedication to youth soccer in Glastonbury.  Also, a special thanks to his family for sharing Mike with so many parents & players in the Hartwell Community - as a coach, mentor and friend!

Above are pictures from the opening ceremony and dedication to Mike Newhouse.  More pictures will be posted throughout the tournament!  Good luck to all the teams and enjoy the weekend !

The Hartwell TOPSoccer League was founded in 2004 and has been providing fun and exciting weekends of soccer in the fall and spring every year since then for children ages 5 and up who have unique challenges, are residents of Glastonbury and who are registered through the Hartwell organization.  The TOPSoccer League is designed to allow children with special needs the opportunity to learn soccer skills at their own pace, and with all necessary supports in place. The TOPSoccer team includes a committed group of coaches and peer mentors who join the players on Saturdays to support skill development, drills and small games.  Players who require one to one assistance are offered direct peer mentor support, as well as personal coaching throughout each practice. During the Fall 2012 season the TOPSoccer team had a very exciting and successful game against the GHS varsity boys soccer team who volunteered their time during their own busy season to create a memorable experience for the TOPSoccer players.  (See Photo)

Do you have a child with special needs who is at least 5 years old and would like the opportunity to play soccer?  Registration on the Hartwell website - www.glastonburysoccer.org - is currently open.  If you have any questions, please call Marty and Jennifer Carroll at 860-657-8180.
