The Island Soccer League is a professional six-a-side association football (also known as 'soccer') league based in Bermuda.[1] The league is the brainchild of Bermuda soccer legend David Bascome, who founded the program in 2006.[2] The league started play in 2007.[1]

Style of play

[edit]

Essentially a football league, the league plays with a modified code, adopting rules from indoor soccer and the traditional sport. All matches are played at the Bermuda National Stadium with a reduced pitch size.

Players for each team are selected through an American-style draft system.

The premier league is known as the Cellular One Adult league.
