We started it as our Summer Soccer program back in 2005(you
can read the story of how the program started here)
-- at that time, it was
basically just for the kids in our Sunday School.
During the summer of 2006, our second year, some kids from the
neighborhood, and some kids who had only occasionally been seen at Trinity
started showing up. We also realized how many people in the parish were in
a position to lend their talents to making the program successful.
Our third year, 2007, was the high point. We had a total of 96
participants from all over the area, most with no previous contact with
Trinity. And, thanks to the kind assistance of Lime Rock Park, the
quality of our field got better and better.
2008, our fourth year of summer sports for kids at Trinity, remained
dedicated to soccer, but we could see the interests of our kids
beginning to shift to other sports, and we began to see what looked like
a corresponding shift in community interests. We resolved that in
2009 we would include other sports and you can see if you click the link
below just how Summer Sports 2009 at Trinity Lime rock shaped up!

Summer Sports at Trinity began
in July last year due to many other parish events in June and ended on August
23, traditionally followed on the last day by "Sundae Sunday" during hospitality hour.
How summer sports at
Trinity got started:
Back in
2005, one girl asked what
she and the other kids would be doing once Sunday School ended for the school
year. She thought that soccer might be a good activity. She may have
been a little bit surprised that we took her
suggestion.
There is never a charge for participation in summer sports at Trinity.
We promise that sooner or later we WILL do a new video that includes our
2007 and 2008 and 2009 seasons, but -- it's almost historical now -- here is our
2006 Summer Soccer video -- we made this one
in February 2007, starring our own Trinity Field
(in the winter) and our Summer 2006 participants!
