November 6, 2026-The non-profit Long Island Futsal League, sanctioned by the Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association (ENYYSA), is seeking teams to play futsal this winter. With over 200 squads, the LIFL is one of the largest futsal leagues in the United States and will utilize gyms in central Suffolk County on Saturdays and Sundays once again.
The league’s 8-week season kicks off the weekend of January 2 and 3, 2027. The team fee is as follows:
Under-6 to Under-8 (both boys and girls): $500 per team
Under-9 to Under-19 (both boys and girls): $1,015 per team
Discounts available, including for clubs or trainers who register multiple squads. There is an additional $10 individual player fee, which is paid just once even if that player is rostered on multiple teams.
To register or for more info, please click here or phone LIFL President John Branca at 631-790-7481. The registration deadline is December 12.
Although many groups have jumped on the futsal bandwagon of late, this is the LIFL’s 31st year and two of its teams recently won the national futsal championship. If your children are not playing in an ENYYSA-affiliated league or tournament, then they are not covered by our insurance, and chances are, they are not covered by any insurance. Always ask about the insurance coverage before registering your children or team. And unlike like most other indoor leagues, the LIFL has certified referees and heat in the gymnasiums.
With over 100,000 youth soccer players––both boys and girls––and more than 25,000 volunteers, the non-profit Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association (ENYYSA) stretches from Montauk Point, Long Island to the Canadian border, east of Route 81. ENYYSA encourages the healthy development of youth players, coaches, referees and administrators. All levels of soccer are offered––from intramural, travel team and premier players as well as Children With Special Needs. No child who wants to play soccer is turned away. ENYYSA is a proud member of US Soccer and US Youth Soccer. For more information, please log on to http://www.enysoccer.com/
