What if 12 kids playing soccer in a vacant warehouse becomes 200?
City Plan commissioners debated that allegedly nightmare scenario for an hour before deciding they could live with it after all — as long as the number of players, benchwarmers and spectators doesn’t escalate beyond that cap.

The story of the proposed indoor pickleball facility slated to spring forth from a stretch of asphalt in Westville begins, in a way, in 1957, when Harrison Blume’s grandfather first hung a podiatry shingle on Blake Street.

The following writeup was submitted by Ellen Doon and Mike Galbicsek of the New Haven Youth Soccer league.
On Saturday, Nov. 4, over a hundred people gathered at East Shore Park to celebrate 40 years of youth soccer in New Haven. Members of New Haven Youth Soccer, along with several city and state officials, came together for the league’s first “Founder’s Day” event. The event honors Dr. Douglas W. Rae, Professor Emeritus in the Yale School of Management, who founded New Haven Youth Soccer in the early 1980s.
Indoor pickleball instead of surface-lot parking could be coming to a busy Westville Village intersection, as the owner of a Valley Street stretch of asphalt has proposed constructing a new two-story “gym and spa” dedicated to the trendy tennis-adjacent sport.

Sitting on Lia Davila’s office floor, directly in front of her desk and constantly in her line of sight, is a row of five trophies. The trophies, which stretch all the way up to her chest, serve as a reminder of the grind, grit, and glory her students put in over the summer at the Turn It Up Dance Challenge in Orlando, Fl. in order to bring those awards home to Hamden.
The occasion was a Friday evening conversation, moderated by ESPN’s Michael Eaves, on “Athletics & Academics at HBCUs” with Dena Freeman-Patton, the first female athletic director at Morgan State University.
Freeman-Patton was in town for Saturday’s NAACP Harmony Classic between her Maryland-based school’s Bears and Yale’s Bulldogs. Yale would prevail 45 – 3.

Pizza lovers and cycling enthusiasts filled downtown to watch one of the last chances in the season for competitive bikers to race — and to enjoy everything from cheese to broccoli to potato pies put forward by ten pizzerias.

“Quintessential New Haven,” Ruth Koleske pronounced, as she stood near the corner of Temple and Elm awaiting her husband on a sun-drenched Monday morning.
She was referring to the Faxon Law New Haven Road Race, which played out for its 46th Labor Day. In all, 4,500 runners competed in various races, including the 20K, which Koleske was following, the 5K, a 13.1‑mile race, and a fun run for kids.
