The Connecticut Junior Soccer Association (CJSA) will be hosting its State Cup Finals on Sunday, with matches taking place at Farmington Sports Arena. In addition to the finals being played this weekend, select spring champions are also being determined via group play this season in the 13U, 15U, 17U and 18U/19U Girls Divisions.
As CJSA State Cup Finals are being played this weekend, the Connecticut Cup Presented by DICK’S Sporting Goods also progresses towards its final competitions for the season on Saturday, June 15th. The State Cup serves as a non-residency competition for premier teams, while the Connecticut Cup is a tournament created for teams that meet residency requirements.
“We are looking forward to crowning champions across both of our state-level competitions,” said Josh Krusewski, Executive Director of the Connecticut Junior Soccer Association. “By the end of this weekend, we will know who will represent Connecticut at the East Region Championships in West Virginia.”
