North Haven Soccer Club (NHSC) is thrilled to announce that the North Haven Storm U14 Girls Comp team has qualified for the prestigious United States Youth Soccer (USYS) Presidents Cup Regional Championship. The tournament was held in West Virginia from June 14 to 18.

Their dedication and talent culminated in a thrilling comeback victory over Trumbull United in the Connecticut Junior Soccer Association (CJSA) U14 Girls Connecticut Cup final last fall, securing their place in the USYS President's Cup National Championship Series.

The entire team has been a part of NHSC's development program, participating in Kick Start, U8, and U10 initiatives.Their journey includes four South Central District championships, a CJSA CT Cup Finalist position in Spring 2022 (U13 Girls), and numerous tournament victories at prestigious events like the Nutmeg State Games, Rocky Hill "Sylvie Poulin" Columbus Day Tournament, West Haven Invitational Tournament, Madison Invitational Tournament, and Newington "Wrap-up" Tournament.

NHSC extends its gratitude to local bank and community partner, New Haven County Credit Union, for its generous sponsorship of the team uniforms.
