He wrote the Leagues Constitution  & Bylaws. that resulted with Teams  joining the league throughout BC. including Teams from Washington State USA.  was inducted  into Washington State Hall of Fame for his contribution to the development of  Adult Soccer.  On retirement Len was awarded with a Life Membership of the Pacific Coast League. Len  was born in Ireland  had many Brothers & Sisters living as far away as  New Zealand he paid regular visits to them all. Len had two loves his family and the Pacific Coast Soccer League family with his failing health he still made time for all who knew him over the years

Len was looked upon as the father of the PCSL setting League Standards maintained to the present  day.

 

When asked why has this League been successful for so many years.? Len replied 1..Directors Of the League decisions are final. 2. Keep Costs to a minimum for Teams playing in League. 3.  Teams change each year. Pacific Coast Soccer League  interests come first. at all times.

is the sole sporting  award  to which the late US President ever lent his name.
When the tournament was inaugurated in 1961,  the late  President Kennedy, recognizing the physical requirements in the sport of soccer, gave his name to the trophy in connection with his physical fitness campaign. Mexico participated from 1961 to 1966, but  in 1989 the PCSL revised the tournament format with Washington State. Oregon State and the Pacific Coast League as the participants. Three leagues alternate the running of the event each year, and this year, Washington State will be represented by Washington league Champions Washington Premier FC. Oregon State will be represented by the current holders of the JFK cup,  IPS Marathon Taverna.

The PCSL will be represented by the 2019 Shelia Anderson Memorial Cup Champions, Vancouver Tigers FC., and  Okanagan United Selects, which will include players  from Kamloops, Kelowna and Penticton.
The Pacific Coast Soccer League encourage everyone to take the opportunity to attend  this International event  on the June 6th/7th weekend of 2020 at Kings Park, Penticton, BC. The Penticton SC is sponsoring the event and they have been members of the Pacific Coast Soccer League for many years participating and promoting Adult Soccer in their community. We wish to thank them for making this event possible, and for  bringing this International event to the Interior of British Columbia for the first time.

Over many years the PCSL has been an important venue for some of Canada's most talented soccer players to show their abilities. Just a note of interest, one of the Coaches of the Penticton PCSL team in 2019 was Chris Bennett.
Chris has had a long association with the PCSL and has been inducted to both the  Canadian
 and BC Soccer Hall of Fame.
He was an original member of the North American Soccer League’s Vancouver Whitecaps in 1974 and enjoyed a lengthy run as a member of the Canadian national team. He spent 12 years as a coach with the Canadian Soccer Association and in 2004 led the Whitecaps to the North American Women’s League title.
