Dear Club Members,

Easton Redding United has been providing the youth of Easton and Redding with a positive soccer experience since 2009 and I am proud to serve as President. Over the past number of years there has been tremendous growth in the programs we offer. We have challenged ourselves to adapt and provide what families are asking for while adapting to the new challenges that we all face in player, staff and membership safety. As a result, our programs are aligned with the Joel Barlow High School boys and girls varsity soccer programs in order to offer a consistent developmental approach from U8 through to the high school program. We are truly the soccer "Pathway to Play" at Joel Barlow High School.

The ERU Board of Directors works alongside our coaching staff to engage all ages, to increase scholarship so that all town players have the option to play based on financial need, and to maintain our club policies in line with those of our parent league CJSA/US Soccer. ERU is part of the South West District (SWD) of the Connecticut Junior Soccer Association (CJSA). As a member of the SWD we maintain competitive teams in one of the largest Districts in the state, comprised of 24% of the CT travel soccer players.

Without our volunteers we would not be able to offer these experiences to our children. The ERU Board is comprised of parent volunteers, with the intention to equally represent both the towns of Easton and Redding and both the boys and girls programs. The Board meets monthly on the second Monday of the month. All Board meetings are open to the public and meeting times and locations are listed on erunited.org site. A complete Board of directors consists of 8 members. An annual membership meeting is held in December to elect the President, VP, Secretary, and Treasurer. Other Board positions are Registrar, Marketing, Rules Chair, Boys and Girls Travel Directors. The time and skill sets that volunteers provide help us offer the best possible town-based soccer at a reasonable cost to families.

Please consider joining volunteering as an In-House Parent Coach, Travel Team Manager and/or ERU Board Member. Your participation allows us to continue our mission to help Easton and Redding children enjoy soccer on their pathway to play at Barlow. 

Sincerely,

Bill Andrews
ERU President
