Suffolk Soccer Interleague Goals

The name 'Suffolk Soccer Interleague' is just that, a name, so the teams  playing have a way of identifying where they play.

We can call it your club name but then each club would have a problem with that!

History

Many years ago, this cooperative between clubs was called inter-town, then
interleague and finally Suffolk Soccer Interleague. This name was selected by
club presidents at a meeting many years ago.

The purpose of Suffolk Soccer Interleague was to allow the players a place to play after
travel teams were formed and each club only had a few players left but not enough to form
pure age divisions for them. In order to avoid putting multiple age groups together 
(an unsafe environment), the need to help each other was obvious.

As the years went on, each club recognized that the non-travel players needed
a place to play and were willing to put their heads together to help those players
and form a friendly program for them to play in.

Being a Past President, and knowing the urgent need to form this type of program,
both my wife and I stepped up to help. This program is important to all the soccer clubs
 here in Suffolk and some in Nassau. The main goal of SSI is to simply serve as an
extension of each club's intramural program. All we do is help coordinate schedules and
help set up some guidelines and rules to make each game as friendly as possible.
 We do not collect player registration fees nor cover their insurance. Each club
does that. We do not compete with any club or league for teams or players’ registration.
These are just friendly scrimmages, not travel games for first place.

 I hope this clears up the confusion what SSI is and why we are here.
Remember this is your program for the players in your community.
