Greetings Elmira Women’s Soccer Alumni, Fans, Family, and Friends,

Elmira College Women’s Soccer needs your support!

We’ve got a wonderful group of close knit, hardworking players with a really bright future. Our incoming class for 2026 is talented, motivated, and ready to share their gifts in our program. Our team goal is to make it back to Empire 8 Conference Playoffs, and see how far our young team can go.

To help us in pursuit of our goal, we are seeking funding for some key things, including three more “trackers” for training–these GPS devices are worn by players and provide great data measuring speed, distance, and field coverage. It was great to get the data from these devices this spring when we tried them out. Ideally, we’d like to have all the players use them, not just three at a time. So adding three more would help a lot. The cost would be $700 for those units, and we’d have a total of six to use.

We’d also like to get some apparel for the team–ECWS T-shirts for all the players, at a cost of $575.

In addition, warm up suits–top and bottom, would run $3,200 to outfit the team. It would be great to have those for game day, particularly for bus travel to away games.

We’d also like to fund a second Assistant Coach position, part-time, specifically for the goalkeepers.

Our goal is to raise $9,200 this year.

We can’t wait to get underway with preseason training starting August 18th. The team is working hard on summer fitness–following the challenging packet I sent out. They are keeping tabs with each other through small “family” groups of 4-5 players.

Your support will help us immensely as we pursue our vision of travel, E8 playoffs, and more.

We thank you for any contribution and look forward to seeing you at what will be an exciting 2026 season.

Purple Pride!

Best,

Coach Bill Kelly
