Building the Future of Soccer in New Haven – Join Us!

April 25, 2025

Franklin County Sports Club (FCSC) is proud to announce a major milestone for our community and the future of youth soccer

On April 10, 2025 , the New Haven Park Board officially approved FCSC to lead the construction of a full-size soccer field at the city park, next to New Haven High School.
This is more than just a field — it’s a home for young athletes, a training ground for excellence, and a space where our community can gather, grow, and thrive.

The Project: 4 Phases of Building the Dream


The board agreed to move forward with FCSC leading the project in four key phases :
  1. Groundbreaking / Field Construction – Begin leveling and building the field.
  2. City Partnership – Enter into a lease and maintenance contract with the City of New Haven Park Board.
  3. Power & Infrastructure – Manage unforeseen site conflicts and connect to the city’s electrical source.
  4. A Permanent Home – Install 4 light posts, bring power to the field, and finalize the site as the official outdoor home of FCSC.

This field is not only for our athletes — it’s a field for families, fans, and the future.

Community Partnerships Making It Possible


This vision is being powered by people — generous professionals who stepped up not for profit, but for purpose.
We are honored to be joined by two incredible community partners:
  • Excelsior Engineering , led by John Nilges , donated their time and expertise to develop the topographic map and field design — a foundational step in building the field the right way.
  • Muddy Boots , led by Josh Barylski , has committed to building the field itself — offering heavy equipment , project leadership , and the boots-on-the-ground support to bring the dream into reality.

These companies are standing with FCSC, side by side, investing in our youth and our future — without making a dime.
Their commitment proves this field belongs to all of us.

We Need Your Support


We’re calling on local businesses, families, and community members to help bring this dream to life. We’re raising funds to cover:

  • Light pole installation for night games and practices
  • Long-term field enhancements
