EUSC Players Take Part in Olympic Development Program

We’re proud to announce that 3 of our U12 A team players, Matteo Paganini, Connor Nick and Johnny Hall were accepted into the 2017 Olympic Development Program. In addition to their EUSC play, the boys have taken part in 6 training sessions, the Region 1 tournament in Lancaster, MA and will be down in Kutztown, PA from July 8 – 11 for the Region 1 Identification Camp alongside other elite club players from the Northeast.

Matteo, Connor and Johnny’s team went 1-1-1 against three tough teams from New York and Massachusetts at the Region 1 tournament.

We wish our boys the best of luck in PA at the identification camp.

Jersey Donation – Kenya

Essex United Soccer Club donated jerseys to four teams in Kenya. 

The first picture is the Light Academy Soccer, run by Jesse Kangethe.   

The second picture below is Dago Toto (Jesse’s team).  They are an adult team.  Prior to these jersey’s they were playing with 8 shirts for their team of 20! 

The third team is Mainstream Sports Academy.  They were an amazing organization providing athletics to children of the local slum Kawangware.  Several of the players are homeless and the rest live below poverty level, but they have one thing in common… they all love soccer!  

The fourth team is from IDP – a refugee camp located an hour outside of Nairobi.

“We can not thank you enough for the donation from Essex United, it was so much fun being able to deliver such a generous gift!   They were so appreciative of everything.”
