About the Long Island Rough Riders:

The Long Island Rough Riders have been part of the Long Island soccer scene since their inception in 1994. The Rough Riders men and women’s team won their first National Championship in 1995. The Rough Riders men’s team featured former US National Team members Chris Armas, Tony Meola, MLS All Star Giovanni Savarese and Jimmy Rooney along with US Olympic Team Member and current Rough Riders Coaching Director, John Diffley.  Since their initial success, the Rough Riders men’s team has gone on to win the United Soccer League (USL) 2nd Division National Championship in 2002 and has sent numerous players to Major League Soccer (MLS).

 In 2007, the Rough Riders acquired a W-League franchise, which was formerly known as the Lady Riders. During the 2008 season, the Rough Riders women’s team qualified for the Eastern Conference Finals. Former Rough Riders women’s team member Sue Weber was drafted by the Boston Breakers of Women’s Professional Soccer (WPS) and has played for the Philadelphia Independence. 

This year, the Rough Riders organization will celebrate their 18th year in existence.  The Rough Riders will enter the 2012 season looking to build off of an impressive 2011 season.  Having improved their record in each of the past three seasons, the women’s team advanced to the Eastern Conference Semi-Finals and won the Northeast Division.  The Rough Riders are hoping to continue that trend in 2012 and are excited to find new talent to join the Rough Riders franchise.
