Men's Island Soccer Organization
Encyclopedia
Men's Island Soccer Organization is an amateur soccer league that is located in Oahu, Hawaii. Within this soccer league there are two divisions, Division I and Division II each of 12 teams.

In the past, there were two different seasons in a year. The spring season would start in the middle of January and end in the first week of July. The fall season would begin in August and end in December. In the present day, the league president issued a change of the scheduling process. Instead of having two short seasons, they decided to make one long season which lasts approximately a year. The new season starts in the August and ends in July. This new long soccer season started in the Fall of 2006.

The soccer participants vary in age. The ages range from high school students to adults in their 40s. Soccer has been on the rise in Hawaii and allowing high school players to participate with older, mature, and better players will allow them to learn and grow. Soccer players out of high school or just out of college have an opportunity to keep up their fitness as well as their soccer abilities.

Within the league there is a tournament in which all teams participate in. This gives a chance to the second division teams to prove that they are worthy to be in the first division. At the end of every season, the team from Division II who wins their season is promoted to Division I. The team in Division I with the least points at the end of the season will be relegated and sent down to Division II.

Goals

The goals of the league are:
  • To provide an amateur soccer league where participants can have a competitive soccer environment.
  • To encourage sportsmanship from the players for the public. A positive example should be shown for future soccer players.
  • To build a setting for young, gifted soccer players to perform against quality soccer stars.
