About Us

The West Islip Soccer Club was founded in 1976, as a volunteer non-profit organization. At that time there were only a handful of teams. Now we have over 1,000 families and 1,500 soccer players. We play at the Manetuck, Captree, Udall Rd, Beach St, and High School fields on Saturday and Sunday. The league continues to operate as a volunteer organization and is made up of several divisions as described below.

Co-Ed U-5 Division

4 year olds start in our co-ed U-5 division. Games are about learning to kick the ball and have a lot of fun. Five vs. Five on a micro-soccer field. All games are played at the Manetuck fields on Saturdays.

Intramural Divisions

5 year old kids also play micro-soccer, but move up to the U-6 division. Here the kids learn a bit more about the game, while starting to work together. All games are played at the Manetuck fields, on Saturdays.

The Intramural Division starts kids in team soccer, on bigger fields, drilling skills, and learning positions. For the first time, a goalkeeper to protect the goal is introduced. The U-7 & U-8 division consists of first and second grade age children. There are separate divisions for the Girls and Boys teams. All games are played at the Manetuck fields, on Saturdays.

Interleague Division

This is a division that has experienced intramural players looking for a higher level of competition. Players get exposure to trainers and experienced coaches who know the game. The players enjoy playing other local town clubs in their own age group. Players look to advance their skill and experience through competitive games. Interleague teams typically begin at the fifth grade level.

Travel Division

Commitment is key on a travel team. Travel teams work hard to advance their skills and knowledge of the game. Playing other clubs travel teams makes for fun and provides a competitive atmosphere. Travel teams typically range from under-10 years old (U-10) through under-17 years old (U-17).

Developmental Program

Developmental teams are for the U-9 age boys and girls that desire to play soccer in a more competitive setting. The developmental teams are formed in addition to the regular intramural teams. The developmental program gives players the opportunity to play extra soccer.
