The Long Island Soccer Football League will be starting an Over 50 Men’s Division in September 2013. Currently celebrating their 65th anniversary, the LISFL is creating the new division to continue meeting the needs of adult amateur soccer players on Long Island.

When asked about why the LISFL is starting an Over 50 Men’s Division, League President Gus Xikis had the following to say, “3 years ago we started the Over 40 Division with six teams. It’s increased to 12 teams and is continuing to grow. The reason for starting the Over 40 Division was to give players an opportunity to play in a league with other players in a similar age group. Players and teams in the Over 40 Division asked the league to start the Over 50 Division so that they can play in a more competitive league for them.”

The LISFL is in the early stages of developing the format for the new division. The league will have a meeting with prospective teams once the application deadline of June 30, 2013 has passed. An application for teams interested in joining the league can be downloaded here. Players interested in joining the league can send their contact information to League President Gus Xikis by e-mail to newworld@aol.com
