The Long Island Junior Soccer League (LIJSL) is proud to announce an exciting new working agreement with LongIslandSoccerTryouts.com, a dedicated platform built to streamline and amplify soccer tryout visibility across Nassau and Suffolk counties. As one of the largest youth soccer organizations in the United States, LIJSL has always prioritized accessibility, transparency, and opportunity for players of all levels. This represents a powerful step forward in our mission to connect players with the right teams — and help clubs find the talent they need to grow and thrive.
This new tryout platform is more than just a digital noticeboard. It’s a resource designed from the ground up to address the real-world challenges faced by families, coaches, and club directors every season. As tryout season ramps up, we’re excited to give every club and player on Long Island a better way to connect.
Why LongIslandSoccerTryouts.com Was Created
For years, soccer families have had to dig through outdated websites, social media posts, email chains, and word-of-mouth just to learn when and where tryouts were happening. For clubs, the challenge was equally frustrating — how do you ensure your tryout information reaches the right players in time, especially when you’re competing with dozens of neighboring clubs?
LongIslandSoccerTryouts.com was built to solve these problems.
Created by local soccer professionals who understand the unique ecosystem of Long Island youth soccer, the site brings clarity, structure, and searchability to a process that has long been chaotic and inefficient. By centralizing tryout listings for all youth soccer programs — travel, premier, academy, and town — the site ensures that no player misses an opportunity due to lack of information.
Whether you’re new to youth soccer or looking for the right next step in your player’s development, this site makes it easier than ever to find opportunities close to home.
What This Means for LIJSL Clubs
With over 100 member clubs serving thousands of players from U7 through U19, the LIJSL community is vast and diverse. But one of our greatest challenges each season has been
ensuring equal visibility for clubs of all sizes, not just the ones with big marketing budgets or expansive networks.
By working with LongIslandSoccerTryouts.com, we’re giving every club in the LIJSL — whether you’re based in the Hamptons or Hicksville — a place to:
● Post your tryouts for free or at low cost
● Ensure parents and players can find your listing 24/7
● Avoid last-minute schedule confusion
● Stand out with professional, easy-to-read listings
● Promote multiple age groups at once
Clubs who participate will also benefit from seasonal promotion boosts through LIJSL email blasts, social media, and website mentions — driving even more traffic to the site during the key tryout window in late spring and early summer.
Most importantly, this is a neutral platform. It’s not affiliated with any single club or league initiative outside its community-serving mission. It exists solely to elevate the visibility of Long Island’s youth soccer scene and reduce the friction between clubs and the families they serve.
How It Helps Players and Families
From a family’s perspective, few things are more stressful than tryout season. Whether you’re looking for a first-time travel team for your 9-year-old or exploring academy options for your high schooler, the uncertainty and overload of information can be overwhelming.
LongIslandSoccerTryouts.com helps families:
● Quickly compare multiple teams and formats
● Get accurate directions to tryout locations
● Know what paperwork or registration is required
● See clearly which birth years are being recruited
● Avoid missing deadlines or walk-up-only opportunities
And because the platform updates in real-time, you’ll never find yourself heading to a canceled tryout or guessing if a session is still open. Each listing is timestamped and curated to ensure it’s relevant and recent.
There are also plans in development to add player tips, parent Q&As, and club-level information to help families make more informed decisions beyond the tryout itself — turning this site into a trusted guide for the entire player journey.
Built by the Long Island Soccer Community, for the Long Island Soccer Community
One of the most exciting things about this platform is that it wasn’t created by an outside company or a faceless tech brand. It was developed by Long Island coaches, marketers, and former players — people who know firsthand the unique culture, pride, and talent that define our region’s soccer scene.
They’ve played on these fields. They’ve coached these tryouts. And they’ve sat in the bleachers wondering where to find information about the next opportunity.
Their goal is simple: make it easier for families to engage with the sport they love — and help clubs grow by matching with players who align with their mission, values, and level of competition.
A Game-Changer for Small and Growing Clubs
If you run a grassroots club or a town travel program, you already know how difficult it can be to promote your tryouts against larger organizations with slick websites and big advertising budgets. Too often, great local clubs lose out on talented players simply because they weren’t visible at the right time.
That’s where LongIslandSoccerTryouts.com levels the playing field.
With a well-designed layout, built-in search engine optimization (SEO), and centralized traffic from thousands of local soccer families, even the smallest clubs can enjoy increased visibility without paying for expensive Google ads or social media campaigns.
The platform provides a professional look and feel, even for clubs that don’t have in-house design or digital staff — because your program deserves to look as good online as it performs on the pitch.
A Trusted Source for Youth Soccer Opportunities
In a world where tryout scams and disorganized events can still pop up, parents want to know they’re trusting the right sources. One of the long-term goals of LongIslandSoccerTryouts.com is to become the verified, trusted source for all tryout listings on Long Island.
That’s why every post includes:
● Verified club contact information
● Age group specificity
● Tryout location and date/time
● Notes on registration or RSVP requirements
● Direct links to club websites
Over time, additional layers of trust (such as endorsements, club reviews, and LIJSL verification) may be introduced to further increase parent confidence and transparency.
What’s Coming Next
While the platform is already live and growing rapidly, the development team behind LongIslandSoccerTryouts.com is committed to continuous improvement. Planned upgrades include:
● Map-based tryout search (see nearby sessions by location)
● Player profile matching (coming soon)
● Post-tryout club announcements
● Seasonal recruiting tools for clubs
● Mobile app version for iOS and Android
● Integration with club calendars and social feeds
● Game footage
● Highlight reels for college recruitment
These features are designed to make this resource even more valuable — not just for a few months a year, but year-round as part of Long Island soccer families’ go-to toolkit.
