Ellicott City Soccer Club Families,

As the holiday season approaches again, I reflect on all we were able to accomplish at CiTY in 2021. We came out of the first wave of Covid to successfully form travel teams, uncertain of what was to come. We had record numbers in our Fall Recreational program and were able to run the Special Needs Clinic with over 50 participants and about as many, if not more, volunteers! Thanks to all the volunteers. 

I would like to thank our leadership team of Rob Ryerson (GM), Carmen Juliano (Technical Director), Wade Whitney (REC Director) and of course last but not least, Amanda Buckler (Director of Administration), for their continued service to our CiTY soccer community. For planning purposes, we have begun to discuss how we can improve the experience for all in the NEW YEAR!

We expect to have a record spring season, with close to 300 REC participants. The Get on the Bus program will be back and is aiming to serve 100 kids from four or five Howard County Title 1 schools (https://gotbsoccer.org/donate/).

If you would like to support CiTY programs, please donate on our website at https://ellicottcitysc.org/donate/ 

The CiTY leadership team welcomes the opportunity to hear from you. Please contact any of the team listed below to give feedback, ask questions, or with any issues or concerns.

Happy Holidays from CiTY!
