[edit] Men's Island Soccer Organization

Men's Island Soccer Organization is an ameteur soccer league that is located in Oahu-Hawaii. Within this soccer league there are two divisions, Division I and Division II. Division I, the better division of the two, consist of 12 teams. Division II has 12 teams as well.

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 a 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 up 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 will 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 will be bumped up 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.
