Fluid connector systems including first and second valve assemblies couplable together to form a fluid pathway therethrough, and can resist fluid flow through the connector system when the valve assemblies are separated from each other, the first valve assembly including a compressible valve within a cavity and configured to surround a post forming a fluid passage, the compressible valve can resist fluid flow through the post in a first position and to reduce the resistance to fluid flow through the post in a second position, and the second valve assembly including a valve plug positioned within a bore and configured to obstruct a fluid passage, such that when the valve assemblies are coupled together the compressible valve is moved toward the second position and the post extends through the compressible valve and the valve plug to form the fluid pathway through the connector system.
