The Central Islip Soccer Organization is dedicated to serving the children in the community.
Our mission is to promote interest in the sport of soccer and to provide a positive experience for boys and girls of the community through athletic recreation in a structured soccer program. To accomplish its mission, the organization provides soccer instruction for players ages 4 - 23, and organizes teams and leagues for the participation of players of all ages, genders, and levels of ability.
The organization has sections, that roles are defined as follow:
1) Academy style program that starts at 4 years old through 11 years old
2) Intra-Mural division that starts at 4 years old through 12 years old.
3) Inter-Town division that starts at 7 through 12 years old.
4) Travel division that starts at 10 through 17 years old.
5) Adult division that starts at 19 through 23 years old.
4 - 8 yr old - Game Situations (SAT .GAMES) - size 3 ball
9 - 12 yr old - game situations (refereed games) - size 4 ball.
13 - 23 yr old - game situations (refereed games) - size 5 ball.
The Academy program is an hybrid between recreational and travel. Our focus is to develop players of all levels of ability from the beginner to the advanced. We provide year-round training and offer a no-cut policy (admission is on a space available basis). This program focus on player fundamentals, technique, basic tactics and to gain a maximum amount of time with the ball. The academy will take your child's game to the next level.
The Intra-Mural program is designed as scheduled scrimmages against other teams that are registered with the club. This program is designed for players that only want to play locally.
The Inter-Town program is designed as scheduled scrimmages against other local Clubs that are registered with Suffolk Soccer Inter-league. This program provides a competitive, pure age division, for that team to play in.
The Travel Program offers a more advanced level of soccer for players aged 10 to 18. Tryouts are held for each age group in mid-May, prior to school letting out. The new teams are selected by members of the Travel Committee and team coach, who observe players performing a variety of skill-based drills as well as participating in small and full-sided scrimmages during a two day period. All other teams are selected once a year by the coach and evaluates, chosen by the coach, in conjunction with a member of the Travel Committee.
The Club's emphasis is on teaching boys and girls the meaning of good sportsmanship and how to play soccer as individuals and as members of a team. Soccer demands both dedication, commitment and discipline from the player to perform at their best levels. It also demands dedication and commitment from parents to give their children proper training and positive support.
What commitment is involved?
Teams practice twice a week during the season. League and Cup games are played on Saturday or Sunday, depending on the age group, against teams throughout Nassau and Suffolk, as well as Queens. The season lasts 8-10 weeks. Teams usually enter tournaments,
which are often held on holiday weekends. Preseason practices begin in July, and again in January. Selection to a travel team requires a commitment on the part of all players to regularly attend practices and games.

Team practices 2 to 4 TIMES A WEEK and a minimum of 9 players is required otherwise we will cancel practice. Training is not optional, players must attend every session.
if a player can't make a session please notify us via the "AVAILABILITY" in the app with reason why a player can’t attend. We do understand that there are other important things such as health, school and family.
