The Mission of Hartford Soccer Club is to provide an affordable, high-quality soccer experience that supports every player’s personal growth and athletic development.

We are committed to building confident athletes and supportive teammates through strong coaching, accessible programs, and a culture of teamwork—helping players reach the level they aspire to while strengthening our community on and off the field.

Hartford Soccer Club is the Hartford area’s longest-running soccer club, with a rich history of enriching the lives of our youth through learning and developing the game of soccer.

Originally founded as Hartford Area Sideliners, Inc. in 1980, the organization began as a parent-led group supporting youth sports, including boxing, wrestling, gymnastics, and soccer.

By 1985, soccer had become the primary focus, leading to the transition from Hartford Sideliners Soccer Club to Hartford Soccer Club. Despite the name change, "Sideliners" remains a proud part of the club’s identity, symbolizing over 40 years of dedication to fostering athletic growth and community spirit in Hartford.

Today, Hartford Soccer Club continues to build on its legacy, providing opportunities for young athletes to develop their skills and passion for the game.
