ROUGH RIDERS HISTORY

The Long Island Rough riders have been part of the the Long Island soccer scene since their inception in 1994. The Rough Riders won their first USISL National Championship in 1995, featuring future US National Team members Chris Armas, Tony Meola, and MLS star Giovanni Savarese. Since their initial success, the team has gone on to win the United Soccer League (USL) 2nd Division National Championship in 2002 and has sent dozens of players to Major League Soccer (MLS).

In recent years, the Rough Riders organization has expanded to include one of the largest elite youth soccer programs in North America. Over 20 teams between the ages of 9 and 20 participate in the Super Y-League (SYL), the youth component of the USL.

In 2007 the Rough Riders reacquired a W-League franchise from the USL, which was formerly known as the Lady Riders. At present both the Rough Riders Men's and Women's compete in the USL and enjoy playing double header matches at Michael J. Tully Park in New Hyde Park.
