SIYSL AIDING OUR COMMUNITY!
While the SIYSL season is still delayed , it hasn't stopped the League from aiding the community.
"Thanks to the efforts of Treasurer Fred Cipriani and Development Officer Liz Morano , the League has secured 12000 disposable masks to distribute to our local hospitals NYPD and FDNY first responders " stated League President Bill Smith . "Fred and Liz have been working with some of their community contacts so that we can have a distribution plan in place when the masks arrive during the week" added Smith.
"This is a donation valuing at around $9,000 from the League to our Community. We feel it is important for the League to support our community and our constituents many of whom are nurses, doctors, medical technicians , and member of the NYPD and FDNY" said Fred Cipriani , the Leagues Treasurer.
The League and the League’s own Travel Soccer club, The Staten Island Soccer Club are also currently working on seasons scenarios depending on when the season will be allowed to begin. While the travel club is awaiting direction from the Leagues in which they participate, The recreational side is working on its own plans.
"We are working on two scenarios currently," said League Vice President and scheduler Rich Nellis. " one scenario is picking up the season schedule in progress with some tweaks to ensure all teams play equal amount of games. The second scenario is a tournament style format in May/June in which we would have different age groups play 2-4 games across two weekends culminating in playoff weekends and a championship weekend at the end"
Vice President Rob Libertelli added " we want to ensure the health and safety of our League and our families. While, we are not rushing back, we want to be prepared to give our kids a much-needed soccer experience especially after this difficult situation.
