CKs warta soccer club  

1999 was the first year that Warta "B" played Outdoor Season in the lowest Second Division and finished in the middle of the table by the end of the season.

Warta "A" has proven themselves in the 2001 year as they became the 2001/02 NSL Indoor Champs as they beat BH Lilies in the final 5:3 scores from Havran -2, Lechowicz, Bujdei, and Nachajski. Warta and their rival team BH Lilies came out in the same season and as Warta moved up the Lilies moved up too. Warta entire indoor season was the winningest team!

2002 Outdoor season for Warta was a little disappointment, after finishing strong Indoor Warta was expected to be the top candidate for the playoff and the league Championship. But Warta managed to win only few games and came out short of the playoff berth as they finished fourth in the division.

Not making the playoffs Warta turned to prepare the team for the cups, and it did payoff. Warta has won the state USASA National Cup and will represent the State of Illinois at the Regional National Cup in June of 2003. This win proved that Warta still has it and are still one of the dangerous teams in Chicagoland as they beat one of the top teams of the Metropolitan League (Green and White) in the final with a score of 4:0.

Also Warta "B" with their best indoor season as they made the playoffs, and lost in the semi-finals to the First Division Champs Winged Bull... but regardless the lost, Warta "B" had a great season which proved the strong club of CKS Warta had in year 2001/02.

2002 Outdoor season for Warta "B" was not so bad, they did not managed to advanced to First Division as they finished in fourth place, but did put a good show throughout the entire season, and Marcin Sierak the teams top scorer from indoor and outdoor was named Co-player of the Years in the Second Division by the NSL.

Warta "B" as a Warta U-23 did good in the cup games but lost in the State Final of the USASA National Cup to Chicago Alliance (0:3).

Marcin Sierak from Warta "B" was elected as Co-Player of the year for the year 2002.　 Sierak is the second Warta player to be selected and honored with this recognition.　 Maros Havran was the other and he did so three years in a row (1997-1999)...

Also 2002 was a year when Warta put together a Senior Girls Team under the coach Mr. Kasper of Foreman High School..　 The Team lasted only for one Spring season as the girls did manage to win few games but just could not compete against　 better sides... In Summer of 2002 this team was dispended..

In early March 2002, Warta has lunched its Official Club Web Site - ckswarta.com.  The site with all the up to date news, informationes and updates.

The 2002/03 Indoor Season after finishing and winning the Overall Championship last season, Warta "A" came in with a new and younger team, but managed to make the playoff for the 5th consecutive year, but it did not come in easy as they fought to stay in Major Division for the entire 16 games. Warta lost their first game in playoff against Wisla SAC in a dramatic close match, and were out till next year.

Warta "B" came in short by an inch to reach the playoffs, after a good season but could not put the final exclamation mark to seal the deal.

As for Warta Kids, 2002 was the last season for that team under Warta, as they decided to switch and move to a different Club, now only the youngest of them stayed and still grow under new coach Tomasz Jankowski (a B-Team Player as well).

2003 Outdoor season Warta started with the same young and re-builted team and will try to equal or do even better as previous seasons, and Warta did reached their goal.

Warta "A" finished in second place behind RWB Adria with the same points but three goal difference, and made the playoffs - Semi-finals of the NSL Playoff Warta "A" lost to the Overall Champions Winged Bull.

As for Warta "B" they came short of few points to reach the playoffs after a very good season, but could not put the finishing touch.

The XVIII Annual Polish Soccer Tournament of North America hosted by Polonia New York i New York - Warta went with their strongest team using some of the guest players from Legovia, Adria, Maroons, and Gazzale, and under new Coach Teddy Kraft (since June 2003).

Warta won their three first games: vs ZPA Perth Amboy of New Jersey 2:1, Polonia Greenpoint New York 2:0, and Olympia Stamford Conn. 3:0- and lost one to Polonia Mielec of Chicago 0:2, on Sunday morning Warta needed only a tie to advance to the semi-finals - but the luck ran out in the 90 min when the REAL TRENTON of New Jersey scored of a Penalty Kick and sent Warta home with a 0:1 defeat.

The 2003/04 Indoor Season for Warta "A" was a strong start, as for most of the season they held the second spot in group, but losses to a lower ranking teams Warta dropped to third and stayed there for the remaining season, and which qualified them for a playoff spot.

The first playoff game vs a favors RWB Adria, Warta played an outstanding game and beat Adria (6:2) on 4 goals from Lukasz Zukowski, and single marks from Marek Marsal and Rafal Nachajski.

The second game vs Winged Bull, Warta ran out of steam and were defeated (1:6) a single mark from Lukasz Zukowski.

As for Warta "B" they finished fifth place in group and hopes for playoffs.

Despite a very poor start of the 2005/06 Indoor League, with five straight losses Warta "A" snapped out of it, and went on a nine undefeated streak games.. But it was not enough at the end to make the playoffs..　 For the first time in seven years the "A" team did not make the post season..　

Lukasz Zukowski finished as the team top scorer and was in the race for the Major Division Top Scorer with 21 goals, while Radu Giurgiu with 7, Traian Maier and Serafin Vega Jr. finished with 6 goals apiece.

Warta "B" proved their strong outdoor finish with taking over the third spot of the Blue Section of the First Division and made the Indoor Playoffs for the second time in their history.　 Unfortunately they were out in their first game against West Bosnia "B" loosing a close and emotional game especially in the second half 2:3.　 Warta being down 0:3 found a way to bounce back and pull within a goal, almost had a heroic equalizer with few seconds left but missed the opportunity.　

Warta "B" attack was one of the dangerous in the First Division as they were in the top among most goals scored by a team,　 as Piotr Maciantowicz had 23 goals, Jan Marzec with 13 and both Andrzej Jarzabek and Sebastain Mielcarek with 12 goals apiece.　

Going into the 2006 Outdoor Season, Warta "A" made few changes to their squad by bringing in few younger players, hoping to do much better then in 2005 as they found themselves out of playoffs in the final game after loosing to Jahbat FC 1:2...

Warta "B" made only few adjustments to their team, and will try to repeat 2005 season and move up to the First Division for the first time since its affiliation in 1998..

Year 2006 was another poor for the club, as Warta "A" finished in fourth place missing out on playoffs for the second straight year.　 Warta "B" finished their season in last place of the group after reaching the finals last year.

Besides their poor performance in the NSL the teams have done poorly in all competitions, as they finished in the last place of their group at the Polish Tournament which is the largest soccer event for the Polish Communities in the US.　 This was the worst finish in the tournament in club history.　 Warta failed in the Champions League as they earned only a point and finished dead last of group B.　 Same outcome was in the Green & White Tournament as well as the Baraboo Tournament.　 After poor finish in tournaments and poor performance in the league, the club decided to relieve their coach Michal Hriso.

The only spotlight of the year was, Marcin Sierak reaching his 100th goal for the club in all competitions.　 Sierak is the second player on all time scoring list to reach 100 or more goal for the club right with Maros Havran.

Warta once again has returned to the Indoor for the 2006/07 season with three teams, Warta "A" in the Major Division and both Warta "B" & "C" in the First Division.　 Neither team has reached the playoffs and for Warta "A" its the second consecutive year out of the post season as they finished in fourth place.　 The team had great potentials at the beginning but came short in most needed games.　 Warta "B" started the indoor season with a 6 game loosing streak and just with two points in the first half of the season, but later picked up a undefeated streak to finish off in a style.　 Warta "C" Team was mostly made out of young players from Elk Grove Village High School, not much was expected from them, but the team did surprised and shocked some teams by taking their points away.

Going into the 2007 Outdoor Season the club has a great player selection as most of them stayed with the club.　 Warta "A" has moved some of the "C" team players to the first squad and the rest of them joined with the second team players to create a competitive "B" Team.

The combination proved to be successful as Warta "A" almost grabbed their first ever Major Division Championship but ran out of luck at the end and finished in third place overall.

Warta B made a great run, not only reaching the playoffs for the second time in their history but also earned their promotion to First Division for next year as they finished in first place of the Section.　　Marcin Sierak the "A" team top scorer with 17 in League games and 3 in Cup Competition gave him a total of 20 goals for the season.

Andrzej Jarzabek finished as the B Team top scorer with 15 goals, and Grzegorz Sulocha earned his first ever Top Keeper award of the Second Division with the fewest goals allowed in a single season.

The Club made only few adjustments to the squad by bringing up the C Team players, as they proved to be the right choice.

Warta had earned an individual recognitions at the Annual NSL Banquet in 2007.　 Joseph Teluch was named the Manager of the Year Major Division, Krzysztof　 Pawlik as the Coach of the Year Second Division, Grzegorz Sulocha as the Second Division Top Keeper and Bart Sarnecki as been nominated for the Rookie of the Year Award of the Second Division.　　 The Club has not earned such recognitions for a while, the last time the names of Warta officials were awarded back in 1998 under the Coach Zbigniew Kupcewicz.　

The 2007 Season proved to be a recognizing year for the Club, by the NSL Officials.

In 2007/08 Indoor Season Warta struggled, winning just two games and earning a total of 7 points in 16 matches.　 For the first time since its promotion ten years ago, Warta was relegated.　 The Team performance was very poor overall.
