April 10, 2025-The Massapequa Soccer Club, in partnership with US Youth Soccer’s League America and the Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association (ENYYSA), is pleased to present the 53rd Annual Pat McComiskey Father’s Day Weekend Tournament.
Pat McComiskey co-founded the Massapequa Soccer Club in 1970 along with Hank Oustecky, long before most other Long Island Junior Soccer League (LIJSL) clubs were founded, and the Massapequa duo helped start the youth soccer boom of the 1970’s.
“The Massapequa Soccer Club Tournament Event Series has, on the whole, continued to grow over the past three years. As a legacy event, perhaps the Pat McComiskey Father’s Day Weekend Tournament does not receive the publicity that it used to. Partnering with Eastern New York as a US Youth League America Festivals-presented event should help us in that regard,” explained Massapequa Soccer Club Chief Club Administrator Steve Padaetz. “This is in-line with the legacy of the Pat McComiskey Tournament and its dedication to and focus on the intramural and recreational player for more than 50 years.”
The fun begins on Friday night, June 13 from 5 to 10 pm as Under-9 and Under-10 travel teams, both boys and girls, play 7 vs. 7. Under-6 to Under-12 intramural players, both boys and girls, take the field all day on Saturday, June 14. The Under-6 and Under-7 age groups play 4 vs. 4 with no goalkeeper, Under-8 plays 5 vs. 5 and Under-9 to Under-12 play 7 vs. 7. The teams will play four 25-minute mini-games. 77 teams played in the Pat McComiskey Tournament last year.
