About Us: 
Tri-State Soccer Wire is an email newsletter sent every non-holiday Wednesday and Saturday with a focus on "local" soccer news for people participating in soccer as players, coaches, referees, parents, or administrators in Connecticut, New Jersey, and New York (with a dash of NE Pennsylvania). While large areas of these states are not formally considered "Tri-State", they are all welcome - just as our flagship "Potomac" Soccer Wire covers all of Maryland, DC, and Virginia, even though some towns are hundreds of miles from the Potomac River itself.
