Welcome
Welcome to the website of the Mamaroneck Junior Soccer League (MJSL). This site serves as a source of information for players, parents, coaches and referees.
The MJSL Travel Soccer program is the more competitive arm to MJSL's Recreational Soccer Program. There are specific requirements for children to participate in a Travel Program. They must be 8 years or older and children can only enter the travel program if there is a roster spot on a travel team and they have successfully participated in a try-out. Try-outs take place throughout the year and are announced on this web site, via e-mail and through other methods.
The MJSL is affiliated with the Westchester Youth Soccer League (WYSL), which means we play against other WYSL affiliated teams. In the fall 2008 about 315 children participated on 21 travel teams in the Travel Program (in addition to 800 children in the Rec Program). That is up from 220 children on 13 teams in the fall of 2006. In the spring of 2010 we will have 27 travel teams.
The MJSL Travel teams have been very successful. Last fall 28% of our competitive travel teams won their division. That is a great result.
Sportsmanship: "If by winning you have lost the respect of others, you didn't really win". The MJSL has sportsmanship high on its agenda. In the Fall 2008, three of our teams received the prestigious Sportsmanship Award (the Generals, the Boys FC-93 and the Lightning). Three of our teams came very close to winning the sportsmanship award and ended up in second place (the Fireballs, Shredders and the Centaurs). Two of our teams even won the Double Goal Coach Award (winning both their division and the Sportsmanship Award: the Generals and the Boys FC-93). Last year in the WYSL only 8 teams out of approx. 700 won this award, so it is an amazing result that our club has 2 teams that have received this award.
Mamaroneck teams are playing at the highest level. We have many teams competing in Division 1 & 2.
We are proud of our travel teams.
The Travel Program is managed by the Travel Committee under the leadership of Matthew DiCicco @ 917.859.9490.
Once again, participation in the Travel Program is based on a selection process. If your child is interested, please look on the Try-outs tab on this web site or contact Matthew with more specific questions.
We look forward to seeing your child on the soccer field! Dan Masciopinto, President
