NLSA MEETS UP WITH "BECKS"...
Perhaps the most popular footballer of all time and in my mind one of the most talented...C'mon, its Becks!!! But more importantly, one of the games finest representatives of the game. Hysterically funny, kind, gracious and simply put an incredibly likeable individual, footballer, and family man. A great honor indeed to have had this opportunity. David Beckham now a part owner of the Inter Miami and responsible for bringing Lionel Messi to the states like he did so many years back bringing more attention to the sport we love so much. The game of soccer/futbol is and has been in a better place since David Beckham came along. |

"NYSSCOGS Hall of Fame News"
Coach Mike Reilly will be inducted into the NYSSCOGS High School Girls Soccer Hall of Fame with the 2022 class. "Coach Reilly is being inducted into the Hall of Fame a little earlier than probably expected by him as he has been quite humbled by the gesture. However, as a Coach/Contributor you are eligible immediately. The amount of contributions Coach Reilly has dedicated himself to in the name of girls' soccer entirely, but specifically for HS Girls Soccer and the importance of school sports, the promotion of the game along with the vast amount of time and sacrifices he has made to the HS Girls Soccer landscape locally, regionally and nationally is insurmountable and should be recognized sooner than the later. Along with his contributions, Coach Reilly successes as a coach do not go unnoticed! So noticeable it is, he has been named NYS Coach of the Year twice, MSG Varsity Tri-State Coach of the Year and United Soccer Coaches Regional Coach of the Year and USC National COY Nominee. AND these are just a few of his accomplishments and recognitions. Over 250 wins, 10 Sectional Championships, 13 League Championships, 3 Regional and 1 State Title. We are excited to have Coach Reilly part of our Hall of Fame inductees and a forever member." Coach Reilly will share this honor with his second high school Player inductee, Islip's Jessica Herrmann. Sue Weber a 2002 Islip graduate was inducted into the inaugural HOF class. |
WINTER CLINIC SESSIONS 2021 and 2022 - Summer of 2023 camps around the corner too...
250 Win Milestone for Coach Mike Reilly

Coach Reilly has an 20 year career record all with the Lady Bucs of 251-68-27. He ranks 2nd all-time in Suffolk County behind Harborfields coach Scott Wallace who completed his 31st year as Head Coach of the Tornadoes winning his 300th this past season. "I don't aspire to win more games as Scott, I just want to be considered as good as a coach as he is. Scott is one of the best coaches I have seen in my career", said Reilly. |
West Islip Boys Soccer Claims first State Title
Congrats to the West Islip Boys Varsity Soccer team winning its first County Championship since 1973.

WISC Teams like the WI Alliance and WI Lightning have won numerous League, State and LISJL LI CUP championships along the way. No better way to finish out a 10 year career together with a high school LIC and State Championship. "Well Done Boys, Well Done...

Very Fortunate to have talked with "some of the greats"
Every one of them were kind, honest, though provoking, intelligent and appreciated my thoughts on grass root soccer and where the game is and where it is going! Both Eric Wynalda and Hope Solo offered their true opinions and answered questions I requisitioned from them in fine fashion, honestly and quite passionately and thoroughly. And quite honestly, answers I was hoping to hear and completely agree with and appreciated tremendously.
