Seeing the enthusiasm and sportsmanship from so many clubs makes this collaboration truly special.”

Reflecting on the partnership, CJSL President Paul Kontonis emphasized the league’s commitment to elevating opportunities for players across the city. “The NY Winter Tournament has grown into a premier platform, paving the way for all-year soccer for boys and girls. This is a vision that the CJSL is committed to making a reality for every player in our community.”

The Long Island Futsal League Seeks Teams For Its 30th Anniversary Season This Winter

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

October 28, 2025-The Long Island Futsal League (LIFL) kicked off play in the winter of 1996-97 with tournaments at World Gym in Setauket and SUNY-Old Westbury. LIFL President John Branca saw through those tourneys that there was great enthusiasm for futsal on Long Island so league play began in January 1998.

The LIFL, sanctioned by the Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association (ENYYSA), is seeking teams to play in its 30th anniversary season 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 3 and 4, 2026. The team fee is as follows:

Boys-Under-7 and Boys-Under-8: $475
Boys-Under-9 to Boys-Under-12: $975
Boys-Under-13 to Boys-Under-19: $995

Girls-Under-7 and Girls-Under-8: $475
Girls-Under-9 to Girls-Under-13: $975
Girls-Under-14 to Girls-Under-19: $995

Team discounts available 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 https://lifutsal.com or phone John Branca at 631-790-7481. The registration deadline is December 1. 

Futsal is a great skill-developer, demanding quick reflexes, fast thinking and pin-point passing that players utilize when they return to playing outdoor soccer in March. Soccer superstars such as Pelé, Zico, Maradona, Ronaldo, Messi and Marta grew up playing a version of the game and credit futsal with developing their skills. Brazil defeated Argentina, 2-1, in Tashkent, Uzbekistan to win the 2024 Futsal World Cup, which is held every four years just like the Men’s and Women’s World Cups. 

Remember that 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.

Marianne Volpe 5K and Pumpkin Fun Run in Baldwin on October 25

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

October 9, 2025-The 14th Annual Marianne Volpe 5K and Pumpkin Fun Run takes place on Saturday, October 25 at Baldwin Harbor Park.

Blood cancer support is important to the Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association (ENYYSA) because of the life of Marianne Volpe. The Baldwin resident was 56 years old when she died of Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL), an aggressive form of blood cancer, leaving behind her husband Jim, daughters Chelsea and Shaun, three brothers, five sisters and countless friends. There are many stories of extraordinary people like Marianne whose lives are cut tragically short by this horrible disease. 

Marianne Volpe

Jim is a Long Island Junior Soccer League (LIJSL) and Eastern New York Hall of Famer, an ENYYSA Trustee who served as Director of the Eastern New York Olympic Development Program (ODP) for over a decade. Both Chelsea and Shaun grew up playing in the LIJSL, then played for Manhattan College and are still involved in the game today. The family started the Marianne Volpe 5K and Pumpkin Fun Run the day before Hurricane Sandy in 2012 and both the soccer and running communities have been helping out ever since.

More than $300,000 has been raised for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS), which has helped advance 55 of the 65 blood cancer treatment options approved by the FDA since 2017. It’s the world’s largest voluntary health organization dedicated to funding research towards cures for blood cancers. Since its inception in 1949, the Society has provided more than $1.2 billion to research specifically targeting blood cancers and its mission is to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma.

Shaun, Jim and Chelsea Volpe

On Saturday, October 25, the kids’ half-mile run dubbed the Pumpkin Fun Run (for ages 10 and younger) is at 9:00 am and it’s free. The Marianne Volpe 5K starts at 9:30 am. 

Click here to register for the 5K or simply to donate.

In addition to utilizing the website, you can also send a donation check made payable to The Leukemia & Lymphoma’s Society to: LLS Northeast Territory LLS – PO Box 22470, New York, NY 10087-2470

Introducing the Green Badge to Help Support Young Refs Even More

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

October 2, 2025-Nobody yells at Student Drivers who are properly identified and the adult drivers around them show patience instead. That’s the concept behind the new Green Badge introduced by US Soccer. Those in the referee community, including myself, have advocated for this concept. This new badge, worn by all certified referees under the age of 18, becomes a key element of US Soccer’s ongoing #RespectTheCall campaign.

The Green Badge is one way of strengthening that culture by helping protect our most vulnerable referees: Youth refs, who also make up the largest portion of our referee community.

Young referees are often the most exposed to sideline pressure and verbal abuse. By providing a clear visual cue that an official is a minor, the Green Badge reminds players, coaches and spectators to show patience, encouragement and respect. The Green Badge creates safer spaces for young refs to learn, gain confidence and stay connected to the Beautiful Game.

• The Green Badge is now required for all refs under 18 at the time of certification or recertification

• Even if a ref turns 18 mid-season, he or she will continue to wear the Green Badge until the end of that registration year

• Everybody is expected to demonstrate respectful behavior to all refs but especially to those wearing the new Green Badge

Referees are vital to the game’s success and ensuring that officials of every age feel safe and valued is essential to continuing to grow soccer in the United States. The Green Badge is more than just a symbol, it’s a pledge from the soccer community to stand behind refs to not only survive but help them thrive.

Do the Math

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

September 30, 2025-The Math is very easy. Only one team can win a soccer game but both teams should be having fun. Only one team can win a game but both teams should be learning fundamentals.

Competition, like money, has both good and bad sides to it. If you overemphasize getting more and more material possessions and showing off all your stuff with no regard to others’ financial situations, then you are part of the problem rather than part of the solution.

If you overemphasize winning without paying any attention to having fun and respecting others, then you are part of the problem rather than part of the solution. If the only aspect of having fun playing soccer is when your team wins, then there will obviously be issues when the team loses.

My vantage point as a referee in the middle of the field can be quite illuminating. Soccer is a low-scoring sport but when the number of goals scored during a game exceeds five, youth players at all ages (believe it or not!) start to lose track of the score. Unfortunately, their parents on the touchlines seem to be much more aware of the score and I have heard comments like, “Your team is losing by a goal,” toward the end of the game.

Being too competitive results in the Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association (ENYYSA) losing refs as most quit in their first two years with verbal abuse from kids’ parents being the number one reason for quitting. Think about that before the next time that you yell at a ref.

Being too competitive results in injuries, some of them quite serious. The nosebleeds and tummy aches in pee-wee soccer at age 7 where no standings are kept become the broken noses and torn ACL’s at age 14 from overcompetition and overuse. After all, when was the last time that you heard about an 8-year-old being seriously hurt in a game? I wish that we could say the same about teenagers. Look at any roster during the current high school season being played and you will probably spot at least one player who is out for the season due to injury.

The Math is very easy.

Would a Messi Have Been Recruited to Play College Soccer?

By Pat Grecco

September 18, 2025-Lionel Messi is a superstar in every sense of the word and one of the greatest players of all-time. Born in Rosario, Argentina in 1987, he is the consummate number #10 for every team he has played on. 

Messi grew up in a middle-class level family, the third of four children of Jorge Messi, a steel factory manager and his wife Celia Cuccittini, who worked in a magnet manufacturing workshop. They were a tight-knit, soccer-loving family. His first team at age seven was with Newell’s Old Boys, based in his hometown of Rosario. During his six years with Newell’s Old Boys, he scored almost 500 goals! His future as a professional player was threatened when, at aged 10, he was diagnosed with a growth hormone deficiency and began growth hormone therapy at age 11. Challenges continued when his father’s health insurance covered only two years of therapy, which cost at least 1,000 pesos per month.  

Negative remarks about Messi were that he was “too small, too fragile” but soon it was realized he was a phenomenon and he would be something special. He signed his first contract with Barcelona at 13 years old and by the age of 17, Messi was playing for Barcelona’s first team. 

While some say he is the greatest player of all-time, I am not going to get into that debate but would like to examine how different his life might have been if he grew up today in the United States instead.

Would Messi’s family have been able to afford American pay-to-play clubs? As a parent who had three children in travel soccer in the late 1970’s through 1990’s, the cost to our family was minimal. I’m not certain that Messi’s family could afford to pay for him to play nowadays in the USA, especially with the medical expenses they were incurring.  

Are we missing out on talented players because their families cannot afford pay-to-play club teams? Should American youth soccer programs be aware of financial needs of players and make accommodations for them? We must take a good hard look at youth soccer in the USA, not as just a business but as an investment in our future soccer players, men and women.

And also, Messi is small and likes to dribble while many college coaches look for big players who can withstand the physical demands of college soccer and who play one- or two-touch. How many college coaches would have recruited him based on his considerable talent, even though their preference might be to play a very different style? Would our coaches here think he is “too small, too fragile” just as some coaches back in Argentina once thought way back when?

Nominations Now Being Accepted For the Of the Year Awards

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

September 12, 2025-The Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association (ENYYSA) is asking that each member, club and league turn their attention inwards to their volunteers and outstanding members in an effort to acknowledge those whose contributions have truly made a difference. We’re seeking nominations for a variety of awards to demonstrate our appreciation for the hours of devotion these valued individuals donate to our players.  

Eastern New York will select a person in each category who will receive our recognition at our Hall of Fame Banquet on Saturday, January 24, 2026 and possibly receive additional recognition at the National level. Last year, we received a nomination in nearly every category because our members took the time to nominate somebody. 

The entries are on an online form that is linked below. Please complete as comprehensively as possible. 

Awards will be presented in the following categories: 

Young Male and Young Female Referee of the Year 

TOPSoccer Buddy of the Year

TOPSoccer Coach of the Year

Volunteer of the Year

Administrator of the Year

Boys Recreation Coach of the Year

Girls Recreation Coach of the Year

Boys Competitive Coach of the Year

Girls Competitive Coach of the Year

Nominations for the above awards must be received by October 15, 2025 to be considered.

As with everything else, your nominees have to be in it to win it! Last year, Owen McCormack was honored as the National TOPSoccer Buddy of the Year, which made a big difference in the life of a teenage boy, but he won partly because the Manhasset Soccer Club took the time to nominate him.

Please take the opportunity to recognize the best and brightest through this great awards program.

Soccer Refs Wanted

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

September 3, 2025-The growth of the membership and programs of the Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association (ENYYSA) has created a continuous need for more soccer referees and assistant refs so please consider becoming certified. There are certification classes held throughout Eastern New York as the Fall Season kicks off.

There are many wonderful things that happen when a person starts to ref including earning money, learning to manage people, learning more about the game, staying or becoming fit, expanding yourself by leaving your comfort zone as well as meeting the greatest people on soccer fields, including your new officiating colleagues. Many become officials as a way to stay involved with the Beautiful Game as their playing, coaching or soccer parenting career is coming to an end. Becoming a youth soccer ref could be one of the best decisions you ever make!

Eastern New York is seeking new referees to be in the middle and/or on the line as assistant referees in youth soccer games throughout the state. The minimum age is 14 years old to become certified. The certification class consists of both online and classroom learning.

Long Island Futsal Academy Win the National Championship

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

July 25, 2025-Congratulations to the Long Island Futsal Academy (LIFA), who won the US Youth Futsal national championship in the Girls HS Division on July 21 in New Century, Kansas. They won all four games, outscoring their opponents 16-3 and won the final over Dragons Futsal from Pittsburgh, 4-1.

“Our biggest strength is our defense and team structure,” commented LIFA coach Chris Sanders. “We defend as a unit with the five players on the pitch and rely on our ability to force teams into low percentage shots toward our goal. We might not light up the scoreboard but we’re hard to score against. I think our advantage at Nationals is we have players who understand their role and responsibilities.”

Back row, left to right: Coach Chris Sanders, Leila Romero, Amelia Fort, Elleigh Newcombe, Izzy Rohr
Front row, left to right: Gracie Sanders, Brooke Delzatto, Taylor Gray
Additionally, Carolyn Rowe, Samantha Gemmo and Vanessa Frangiadakis helped qualify the team for Nationals but could not attend the competition.

This caps a trophy-filled year for the team that wears New York’s colors of blue and orange as LIFA won the US Youth Futsal Mid-Atlantic Regionals in Richmond, Virginia in January and the US Futsal Northeast Regionals in Atlantic City, New Jersey in February. The Nationals for both competitions was the same weekend and they opted to go to the US Youth Futsal version since they will age out of US Youth Futsal but can play US Futsal as adults for years to come.

The team competed in the Boys HS Division of the Long Island Futsal League last winter when they were not playing in Regionals against other girls teams. 

“Playing against boys increased the team’s quickness by forcing us to make faster decisions,” Coach Sanders explained. “It also increased our transition awareness as we had to keep up with the boys’ speed and natural desire to push the pace.”

LIFA seeks players to follow in the footsteps of its national championship team that plays out of the All Star Arena in Coram. For more info about registration for all youth age groups, please contact Chris Sanders at futsalacademy@optonline.net or 631-914-2778.
