The Roosevelt Island Youth Program (RIYP) Soccer League is under way. RIYP's Adib (Bluebeard) Mansour reports following yesterday's games:
What an exciting day indeed. The cheers were constant all day long!! and that's only a sign of exhilarating and action-packed games. The teams were determined and well balanced and the kids had a great time! Coaches, parents, and kids... all had a fun soccer day!

Next weekend we are planning a big day -details to follow, but here's what we're working on:

A- Live Stream: this was tested again today and it went perfectly. Games will have an island celebrity commentator and will be broadcasted through the island's restaurants, and to grandparents around the world!
B- We're working on opening the snack bar area with food and drinks
C- We're also working on getting coffee from Starbucks and some croissants, etc.
D- Training clinics for everyone.

Just a few more things we're working on.
I stopped by yesterday and watched some exciting action at the Octagon Field by our local Roosevelt Island young soccer players
