NEW YORK - September 2026 - ALMOS Sports has officially partnered with the Cosmopolitan Junior Soccer League (CJSL) as the league's Official Ball Supplier, beginning a new relationship with one of the longest-standing youth soccer leagues in the United States.

Founded in 1933, CJSL has been part of the New York soccer community for more than 90 years. Today, its network includes more than 100 member clubs and 27,000+ players across New York City and surrounding communities. The league brings together players, coaches, families, referees, administrators, academies, and community-based soccer organizations under a shared competitive and developmental structure.

More Than 100 Clubs Across the CJSL Community

At the center of CJSL are its member clubs. The league includes organizations of different sizes and competitive levels, each with its own identity, players, coaches, history, and community. Through this partnership, ALMOS Sports will work not only with CJSL at the league level, but also provide opportunities directly to its individual member clubs.

CJSL clubs will have access to a dedicated selection of soccer balls, futsal balls, and training products with multiple product and pricing levels designed to accommodate different needs and budgets. Clubs will also have the opportunity to create custom soccer balls featuring their own badge, colors, and identity, allowing organizations to bring their branding directly onto the field.

Supporting 27,000+ Players

With 27,000+ players represented throughout more than 100 member clubs, CJSL's reach extends across a significant youth soccer community. Behind those players are thousands of coaches, families, administrators, referees, and volunteers who contribute to the individual organizations that make up the league.

The partnership is designed to support this broader network by providing CJSL organizations with additional equipment options for everyday training, competitive matches, futsal, and club-specific programs. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, clubs can select products based on their level of play, intended use, and budget.

More Than 90 Years of New York Soccer History

CJSL's roots stretch back to 1933, giving the league more than nine decades of history within New York soccer. Throughout that time, CJSL has provided competitive and developmental opportunities for generations of youth players while supporting the clubs responsible for developing the game throughout New York City and surrounding areas.

CJSL President Max Watson emphasized the importance of connecting member clubs with organizations that can provide value throughout the league:

Club Identity and Customization

One of the central elements of the partnership is customization. Every CJSL club has its own badge, colors, history, and community. Through the new program, member organizations will be able to incorporate that identity into the soccer balls used by their teams.

Clubs will be able to choose between different ball models for training, academy development, competitive matches, and higher levels of play. Custom designs can then incorporate individual club branding, giving organizations equipment that is directly connected to their identity.

Developing the Official CJSL Match Ball

The partnership will also include the development of an official CJSL-branded match ball. Designed around the league's identity, the ball will represent CJSL itself and become one of the most visible elements of the relationship. Additional information surrounding its design and introduction will be announced as the partnership progresses.

A New Chapter for the CJSL Community

More than 90 years after its founding, CJSL continues to connect clubs and players throughout New York soccer. The partnership between CJSL and ALMOS Sports is intended to reach across that network - from the league itself to the individual clubs, teams, coaches, and players who take the field each week.

With 100+ clubs, 27,000+ players, and a history dating back to 1933, CJSL represents generations of New

York youth soccer. ALMOS Sports is proud to become part of that continuing story as the Official Ball Supplier of the Cosmopolitan Junior Soccer League.
