I don't think all the teams fulfill their rosters or maybe they did but not all the teams got 3 or 4 very very good players....anybody knows if some teams dissolved or merged? so far we know that hbc united, mean machine and fc united merged. If some towns had 3 teams, maybe the 3th team dissolved in order to give players to the other 2 teams plus kids leaving for other activities.......

Mass had 12 pts in fall '08 and 10 pts. Spring of '09. 3 go down and 3 move up

Yeap...hard to belive that 132 teams in LI gathered 4 players (that means 396 more players for a roster of 15 per team)????

I heard that 5 or 6 players left mean machine. It's weird that a team that it is going to stay in N1 lost almost have of the team, maybe they were not happy with the merging ??

In Fall they won 8 games and tied 1 with the 4th place Spring 2009 Plainedge Red B ulls.....25 pts in Fall and 18 in Spring; they should move up. Sorry Mass fans.......

I meant 3 per team = 396

Mass goes down because they did not perform well in the fall or the spring. LIJSL does not place teams on the hopes that “the new goalie sets the team up for a breakout year.” You are obviously a Mass parent devastated that your beloved A-team will be in D2. Please remember, these are just 10 and 11 year old kids, most of whom will not play soccer past eighth grade. Stop living through your kid.

Remember, there is no need to resort to wearing a paper bag over your head when gallivanting around town or, even worse, parking the minivan in the garage while its running. I promise, when I see you on the soccer field this fall, I will not make fun of you . . . or will I?

Yours in Soccer,

A Proud D2 (at best) parent.

Mass goes down but POB stays in D2 GC moves up to D1 after going undefeated and having the best goal diff in the county

Do your home work Mass always starts out slow. They will be ok down the road. Raptors U11 CHAMPS, CELTICS, U12 CHAMPS, ARSENAL, SCORPS U13 GREAT TALENT.

Or maybe they just got tired of the coaches.........
