Joe Votinelli of the Massapequa Soccer Club was recently presented with the Sportsmanship Coach of the Year from the Long Island Junior Soccer League. Joe has been coaching in the Massapequa Soccer Club since 1994 and is currently coaching the Massapequa Arsenal since 2005.

Joe has coached his current team, Massapequa Arsenal, to Division 1 and winning many tournaments along the way. However, Joe cherishes the two bronze Sportsmanship chevrons that the team won in the last few seasons. Joe is a true believer that creating an atmosphere that the kids and their families want to be a part of will keep them playing soccer for a extended period of time.

The Massapequa Soccer Club of the Long Island Junior Soccer League (LIJSL) honored Janine Howe as a "Volunteer of the Year" at the 26th Annual LIJSL Volunteer Awards Dinner. Janine was chosen for her outstanding commitment and years of dedicated service to the thousands of youths who have played soccer in Massapequa Soccer Club.
