YOUTH SOCCER IN JOHNS ISLAND, SC

ISLANDS SOCCER LEAGUE

IslandS Soccer League on Johns Island, SC

The Islands Soccer League is a JIYSC program currently serving the Johns Island youth community.


The ISL kicked off in the fall of 2024 as a developmental league for Johns Island communities. Over 170 kids participated in the fall and spring seasons.


Our biggest asset is the diversity of children representing the different socio-economic communities on Johns Island and how they bond together to play soccer. The program provides financial aid through scholarships so that "no child who wants to play soccer on Johns Island, is left behind."


The ISL will provide players with a platform to continue growing their soccer abilities and for some, the prospect of advancing into the Junior Academy or a Academy Select Team.
