| My Journey | Hi, my name is Ella Bacoulis. I've been a playing soccer since I was able to walk it seems like. My dad told me that as soon as I touched a ball when I was little, I just knew what to do with it. I am hardworking, coachable, and driven to make the sacrifices needed to improve my game. As a Center Back, some of my most important attributes are:
Prior to covid, I was playing for my 09 club team and well as the 08's for a couple of years. Then covid hit and my mom shut me down for almost 2 years straight since my grandpa lived with us. He was in his 80's and as a cancer survivor my mom didn't want to risk getting him sick. It was tough as I missed playing while all my friends and teammates still played. But this made me hungry when I was finally allowed to play again. I joined a new team, Yankee FC which became Ole FC, where I played for next 3 years. After becoming a semi-finalist with my Ole club team and being ranked #4 in the country, I made the decision to make the jump to ECNL 1 so I can improve as a player and surround myself with the best players in the area. This was the best decision for me and I started most of the games in my first year. We had an incredible season and made the ECNL 1 Playoffs in San Diego. At the same time of moving to ECNL 1, I also transferred high schools after my freshman year, even though I knew I wouldn't start due to upper classmen. (Shelton HS to St. Joseph's HS) This move allowed me to surround myself with like-minded athletes and more of an intense atmosphere. Here, I played with a 3-time CT Gatorade player of the Year along with multiple D1 committed players. This program has won 9 state titles and now 8 FCIAC conference titles. We just beat Greenwich Tues. Oct. 28th, 2025 to make it 8! Over the past year I've been working with a personal trainer to increase my speed and get stronger. It's working as since the end of my freshman year I've added close to 20 lbs, and now I'm one of the fastest girls on both of my teams. (and have grown almost 5 inches) Academically, I am very strong, always had straight A's. I take all Honors courses and I'm currently in AP PreCalc. Off the field, I love spending time with my friends and family. I also love playing with my dog Suki along with my 2 cats, lizard, and 14 chickens!
