A Tournament like no other...
The Islamic Soccer League is committed to building Islamic character in youth through sports. As a part of that commitment, the ISL is sending three teams, one from each of the Under 18, Under 16 and Under 14 age divisions, to participate in two overseas soccer tournaments and to perform Umrah. Umrah is an Islamic ritual that is performed in Mecca anytime of the year. It is an optional ritual that is like Hajj (Pilgramage to Mecca).
After rigorous tryouts for over a year, 48 players were selected based on skill and most importantly character. Since 2010, coaches and players have been working hard in preparation for the upcoming tournaments and pilgramage.
In March of 2012, these three teams will be representing Canada in two soccer tournaments, one in Jeddah and the other in Medina, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. To date the players and the league have raised just over $55,000 through various fund raising initiatives including dinners, bake sales, barbecues and car washes.
In order to make this trip a reality, ISL must raise another $25,000. These funds will help pay for winter training facilities, buses, equipment, uniforms, travel and accommodations.

About the Islamic Soccer League
The Islamic Soccer League is community-based, non-profit organization. It has expanded
remarkably since it's humble beginnings in 1997. What began as a small recreational program
for 34 local children coached by two volunteer coaches is now a multi-faceted league with over
100 volunteer coaches catering to over 1600 participants ages 5 to 18. ISL is commitment to
providing all players with a rewarding, enjoyable soccer-playing experience tailored to helping
players become more confident, assertive, independent and self-controlled. Through soccer ISL
works to instil a stronger sense of self-worth in its players based on their mastery of skills and
understanding of the game. Players have the opportunity to assume leadership, cooperate with
others; question actions and regulations and accept responsibility for their own behaviour.
The Islamic Soccer League's mission is to nurture good moral character and provide
opportunities for players to socialize with others successfully and to learn
positive people skills.
