Tony grew up in Trinidad and Tobago and after emigrating to New York in 1970, he started playing soccer in a league in Prospect Park. In 1986, he began coaching his children, Rhonda and Michael, in the Staten Island Youth Soccer League (SIYSL) when they took up soccer. From 1986 through 1996, Tony coached intramural teams at St. Rita’s. In 1994, when the club needed a new Director, Tony stepped up and ran the club for two years while also coaching.

In 1990, Tony also started coaching at Staten Island United, doing so for the next 14 years, plus serving as club Secretary in 1998 and 1999.

While this is all very impressive, Tony is best known today as a referee, which he has done with a passion for over three decades. He was President of the Staten Island Soccer Referees Association (SISRA) from 2003 to 2005, then has been the SIYSL assignor for the past two decades. He was inducted into the SIYSL Hall of Fame back in 2012.

The induction ceremony took place at our Hall of Fame Banquet on Saturday, January 24 at Marina del Rey in the Bronx.

Ann Marie has been Chairperson of the Long Island Junior Soccer League (LIJSL) TOPSoccer program since 1979. She has also been TOPSoccer Chairperson for her club, the Plainview/Old Bethpage Soccer Club, since 1979 as well.

Under Ann Marie’s leadership, TOPSoccer has grown to 28 LIJSL clubs having programs and she is just as enthusiastic and at the fields every Saturday during the Spring and Fall Seasons today, even though she is now in her late 80’s. For all this volunteering, she was inducted into the LIJSL Hall of Fame back in 2005.

Ann Marie stated in her brief induction speech, “With a little patience and empathy, you can accomplish anything!”

Additionally, she was a member of the LIJSL’s well-respected Sportsmanship Committee and attended their very first meeting in 1980, served as a Plainview/Old Bethpage Soccer Club Trustee and was on the committee of the LIJSL Convention, which will be coming back this winter after being discontinued in 2020 because of Covid.

Max Watson is the New CJSL President 

By Randy Vogt, Director of Public Relations, Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association

January 20, 2026-The Cosmopolitan Junior Soccer League (CJSL), founded in 1933 and the oldest league in the Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association (ENYYSA) and all of American youth soccer, has announced the appointment of Max Watson as CJSL President. Max served as First Vice President under CJSL President Paul Kontonis, who passed suddenly on November 24.

Max explained, “I was originally a DUSC kid and played my entire youth career with the Downtown United Soccer Club in the CJSL from Under-10 to Under-19.”

Max used his development in the CJSL to be recruited to play soccer at Franklin & Marshall College in Lancaster, Pennsylvania and helped lead the Diplomats to the Division 3 Sweet Sixteen and Elite Eight from his central midfield position.

Upon graduation, he had a 7-year stint in Virginia, as an assistant coach for the men’s team at the University of Mary Washington, then men’s assistant and later head coach at the Virginia Military Institute (VMI), Director of the Stafford Soccer Club and in the youth scouting department for DC United. During his time in Virginia, Max was selected for the United Soccer Coaches 30 Under-30 program to support up-and-coming coaches.

“But New York City is my home and I moved back in July 2023 after being appointed men’s head coach at New York Maritime as well as a coach and administrator at DUSC,” Max stated.

The Chelsea resident arrived at Astoria Park in Queens one night to evaluate a potential recruit for his college team.
 
“I met that player’s coach, Paul Kontonis, that evening for the first time. A professional, personal and mentorship relationship flourished from that point and a year later, I became Paul’s First Vice President in the CJSL.”

Besides now being CJSL President, Max is the head men’s soccer coach and Assistant Athletic Director for the University of Mount Saint Vincent in the Bronx, the Assistant Director of Coaching at DUSC and pursuing his “A” coaching license.

“All of my goals as CJSL President will honor and enact many of the high-level initiatives that our past president and friend was championing,” Max said. “Continue the rapid growth of our league throughout New York City, primarily via supporting the structural growth, coach education, player pathway opportunities and resources for all of our member clubs. We will remain uniquely New York City and stay true to our roots while being sure to swiftly progress, modernize and remain current in a quickly developing soccer landscape. The needs are always changing and we will be sure to also grow at the CJSL to meet these needs for youth players but also for coaches, parents, administrators and referees.”

LIJSL Academy Wins the Girls-Under-15 National Championship

By Randy Vogt, Director of Public Relations, Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association 

December 29, 2025-Congratulations to the LIJSL Academy, which has won the Girls-Under-15 USL Youth League national championship. Made up of players from the Long Island Junior Soccer League (LIJSL), the largest league in the Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association (ENYYSA), the squad won three games and tied one in Tampa earlier this month.

LIJSL Academy qualified for Nationals by virtue of having the best record in the North Atlantic Division last summer with 6 wins, 0 losses and 2 ties, scoring 28 goals and conceding just 3.

Top row, left to right: Adriana Kletzkin, Aubrey Schneider, Juliana Koppelmann, Lucy Palmeri, Madison Caglioti, Giuliana Portaro, Lily O’Connor, Emily Belpanno, Kylie Tannus, Coach Salma Tarik
Bottom row, left to right: Emily Landa, Braelin Fernandes, Makayla Friedrich, Ava Manfredi, Izzy Hercules. Camera shy: Abigail Smith

The Girls-Under-15 Nationals was round-robin play with four games to determine the national champion. On December 11, LIJSL Academy scored in the dying seconds of the first match on a goal by two players named Emily as Emily Landa scored with Emily Belpanno providing the assist to tie Maryland United, 1-1.

The next day, LIJSL Academy defeated Michigan DBSS, 5-1. Coach Salma Tarik commented, “We were flying on all cylinders as this game was hands-down the best match I have seen this team play in a year-and-a-half as our style of play, attitude, effort, desire and mentality all came together.”

On December 13, LIJSL Academy played another team from Michigan, the Portage Soccer Club, topping them 2-1. Coach Tarik explained, “I would say this was our hardest game. Their attacking line was something we didn’t face yet in the tournament and they were very athletic and physical. Our goalkeeper, Makayla Friedrich, made the best save of the tournament in stopping a breakaway.”

Led by tournament MVP Ava Manfredi, LIJSL Academy secured the national championship with a 4-0 victory over Ironbound from Newark, New Jersey on December 15.

“Resilience, grit, motivation, hard work and confidence led us to the national title. We knew what we were there to do and having missed out on attending last year, we wanted to make a statement and do something this club has never done which was win a national championship,” Coach Tarik continued. “I told this group over and over, you believe in what you can do against any opponent and this is the best team I have ever coached and it is our time to make a statement, and we did just that!”

Turkey Bowl Soccer Celebrated Across Long Island

By Randy Vogt, Director of Public Relations, Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association 

December 2, 2025-The friendships started as kids on the soccer fields of the Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association (ENYYSA) can last a lifetime. And at no time is this more apparent than at Thanksgiving, when people come home for the holiday. Turkey Bowl soccer games were played on Thanksgiving morning before the players ate turkey with all the trimmings.

We start in Baldwin at the Brookside Elementary School. Baldwin’s Turkey Bowl kicked off in 1979 when Doug Lyn (second from right in the photo above) began a pick-up game for the players he coached in the Long Island Junior Soccer League (LIJSL). One of those players in the inaugural match was 11-year-old Jimmy Walther, who has not missed a Turkey Bowl in the past 47 years, went on to play for the Long Island Rough Riders and currently organizes the Turkey Bowl in both Baldwin and Commack. 

“Whoever wanted to play always has a home with Doug,” Walther said. “The Turkey Bowl has gone from the players that Doug coached, we have added their kids and anybody who wants to play.”

Walther (center in back row) now coaches numerous teams in the Commack Youth Soccer League and started Commack’s Turkey Bowl in 2022. This soccer hamlet is home to Commack High School, recently-crowned Class AAA state champions in both boys and girls soccer. The 4th Annual Commack Turkey Bowl was played at the Burr Road Soccer Complex. Walther did double-duty on Thanksgiving Day as he left his home in Commack for the 9 am kick-off in Commack, then drove nearly 30 miles to Baldwin (where he grew up), going from the youngest Turkey Bowl to the oldest.

The 38th Annual Brentwood High School Turkey Bowl was played by the alumni at the school’s new soccer stadium, home of the five-time state champions. Ron Eden (standing on far left) has been the head coach of this powerhouse team for the past 31 years. He said, “It has been a great day. This is one of my favorite days of the year as I see all of you guys again.”

Organized by coaches Noah Molina, JP Madden and Aaron Ahmad, St. John the Baptist High School restarted its alumni match this year after taking off in 2024 due to heavy rain. The 9th Annual Cougars Alumni Game was played at the home of the 4-time state champion in West Islip.

The 21st Annual Chaminade High School Turkey Bowl was played at Gold Star Stadium on the campus of the Catholic boys school in Mineola, home of the 10-time and current state champions. It kicked off in 2004 and took a year off in 2020 because of the pandemic. The Flyers alumni game was organized by Matt Chicavich, an assistant coach on the varsity team.    

“We had 75 alumni attend. There was bagels and coffee, some good soccer and a lot of reminiscing. It was a good morning!” explained Chaminade head coach Brian Anselmo, standing above on the far right.   

Oceanside United, founded in 1962 and where two dozen former professional players cut their teeth as kids, held their 36th Annual Turkey Bowl at wind-swept Oceanside Park. Promowear again supplied the shirts. Memories of Alfredo D’Antonio, a former pro player in Italy who was a fixture at many Turkey Bowls and passed at 91 last year.

Additionally, two other Long Island soccer clubs played their alumni games after Thanksgiving. Garden City Centennial played on Friday, November 28 and Rockville Centre played on Saturday, November 29. The friendships made on soccer fields as kids can last forever.

Mourning the Profound Loss of Paul Kontonis

By Randy Vogt, Director of Public Relations, Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association

November 26, 2025-The Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association (ENYYSA) is in mourning over the passing of Cosmopolitan Junior Soccer League (CJSL) President Paul Kontonis on November 25 at the age of 54. The Flushing resident volunteered for the past 1.5 years as President of the CJSL, founded in 1933 and the oldest youth league in American soccer.

Paul had been CJSL Vice President and succeeded Ron Restrepo as President in 2024. Paul served Eleftheria Pancyprian Soccer Club as a Director and Coach, where he devoted his time, energy and heart to the players and staff. Prior to Eleftheria, he spent many years as a respected coach with another CJSL club wearing blue-and-white, BW Gottschee, helping develop countless young athletes and contributing to one of the city’s most storied youth soccer programs.

In a statement, the CJSL wrote that “Paul served our league with dedication and integrity. His leadership, professionalism, and belief in the mission of youth soccer strengthened our league and positively impacted every club, coach, referee and player in our community.

Paul believed in what we were building together. He championed the growth of our league, supported the development of our players, and worked tirelessly to elevate our standards. His impact—both on and off the field—was meaningful, lasting and will continue to be felt throughout our community…

Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with Paul’s family, friends and all who were fortunate enough to work alongside him. His legacy within CJSL and the wider youth soccer community will not be forgotten.“

The Eastern New York Soccer Referee Association added, “Paul supported and championed the cause of referees in every way he could. He brought cheer and energy to every interaction and valued the development and growth of each person’s character in pursuit of the game; even referees. His combination of calm during a match and passion for the game was second to none in New York City. He will be missed.“

The CJSL will have a moment of silence before all remaining Fall Season games plus additionally, on Monday night, December 1, there will be a moment of silence before the first match of the CJSL College Showcase kicks off at 7 pm.

Memorial visitation is at the Frederick Funeral Home, 192-15 Northern Boulevard in Flushing on Thursday, December 4 from 6-9 pm and on Friday, December 5 from 10 am-1 pm.

We have lost a very good man. May he rest in peace!

TOPSoccer Integrates With Unified Players For the First Time on Long Island

By Randy Vogt, Director of Public Relations, Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association

November 20, 2025-Children With Special Needs playing soccer in an organized league first started in the Long Island Junior Soccer League (LIJSL) in 1978 when the Huntington Boys Club and Massapequa Soccer Club separately started programs at a time when those with Special Needs playing sports is not as accepted as it is today. That was the first seeds of what is now TOPSoccer, The Outreach Program for Soccer, for children and adults with intellectual, emotional or physical challenges, all under the US Youth Soccer umbrella.

Three dozen Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association (ENYYSA) clubs now have TOPSoccer teams.

Smithtown TOPSoccer coach Bob Kinney, recently selected by Eastern New York as our 2025 TOPSoccer Coach of the Year, explained that “when Smithtown TOPSoccer player Steven Heimerle moved to Charlotte, North Carolina, I helped him find a new team through Emily Mohlin of the Special Olympics Long Island. Steven ended up playing on a Unified Soccer team, and enjoyed it so much that he contacted me to talk about it. Steven’s input on his experience led to several discussions within the Smithtown Kickers on how we could do something similar.” 

Unified teams consist of those with and without challenges playing on one squad. It’s inspired by the simple principle that playing together is a quick path to friendship and understanding.

This led to a 3-day soccer camp last July at Moriches Fields in St. James where 12 TOPSoccer players were integrated with five college and adult players, all under the direction of Miquel Gasparin, the Smithtown Kickers’ Director of Boys Training.

“The camp was a huge success. The players enjoyed it tremendously and in the Unified setting, they were able to work on more refined soccer concepts like ball possession. Everyone did not want the camp to end and asked to do it again,” Bob stated.

At the Special Olympics’ Fall Games on September 20 at Cantiague Park in Hicksville, Bob met Michael and Kristen Carolan, who had been involved in Unified Sports in Florida and are currently volunteering with Huntington Boys Club (HBC) TOPSoccer. Together with Sachem TOPSoccer coach Brian Pontecorvo, they planned their first Unified event on Saturday, November 15 at Moriches Fields as the TOPSoccer Fall Season concluded.

Unified players were on each team as Smithtown played against Sachem. The partner players’ goal was not to star on either squad but to aid each teammate in getting the ball down the field so everybody touched the ball and had a good time. For the more advanced TOPSoccer players, the higher level of play enabled them to be at their best while for the less experienced kids, they saw how soccer should be played and gave them ideas and a pathway to improve.

Bob concluded by saying, “Our partner players did a great job involving all the players plus helped them with positioning. Everyone had a great time and is very interested in pursuing Unified play when we resume next spring.”
