Do add script jQuery to your head tag

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

You can use jQuery to show hide menu. 

$('li').on('click',function(e){
    var that = $(this);
    if(that.parents('ul').length>1){
        e.stopPropagation()
        return true;
    }else if(that.find('ul').length>0){
        that.toggleClass('classToKeep')
    }
});

Edit 2:

Completely forgot you actually have to click the children <li> elements. Ok the code is same just if it is a children li just dont let the event propagate to the parent thats all. Updated Fiddle

Add this both code block for css and JS in your code.

.classToKeep{
     color:#fff;
  }
   .classToKeep ul{
      display:none;
  } 

$("#p968").click(function(){   
   $(this).toggleClass("classToKeep")
});

You can simply use toggl function of jquery:- 



$("#p968").toggle(function () {
        $('#tackle').hide();
    }, function () {
        $('#tackle').show();
    });

<ul class="vlist">
    <li id="p968" class="active"><strong>Divisions</strong>
        <ul id="tackle">
            <li id="p981"><a href="link1.html">link1</a></li>
            <li id="p982"><a href="link2.html">link2</a></li>
            <li id="p983"><a href="link3.html">link3</a></li>
            <li id="p1064"><a href="link4.html">link4</a></li>
        </ul>
    </li>
    <li id="p969"><a href="#">mainlink2</a></li>
    <li id="p96955"><a href="#">mainlin3</a></li>
    <li id="p989"><a href="#">mainlink4</a></li>
</ul>

Another way is to simple add a class to display your ´li's´ you had previusly hidden with display:noneand then add this jquery:

$('.active').click(function () {
                $('.link').toggleClass("hidden"); 
            });

I have added to class "link" to the li'syou want to be hidden.
