SKHY FC has been instrumental in shaping my personal and professional life.I began training with the club at age 16 and I was extremely fortunate to have the personal time and mentorship of all three Directors.

In the 10 + years my son Joel was with SKHY F.C. I have seen him matured as a player and as a person. The skills acquired on and off the field has served him well in all his life pursuits.

I have been part of the SKHY family for ten plus years and have seen how they have helped boys and girls to become successful.

SKHY FC an extended family sporting club which supports the holistic development of youths in our society through these activities.Our son joined SKHY when he was 14 years old and spent approximately two and half years (2008 -2010) as an active member of SKHY FC. SKHY’s holistic approach not only took into account nurturing the child’s skills at football, it also assisted in the overall development of the student. Through the football coaching our son received from SKHY he was also able to represent his school (Fatima College) at Secondary School games. He was also afforded the opportunity to travel with the Club to Dallas, Texas where he was exposed to playing at international standards and had the opportunity of being called for “try outs” for the Trinidad and Tobago Under 17 National Team.

During the period that our son was a member of SKHY, we as parents were actively involved with all the club’s sporting and fund raising activities. A key component of this partnership is the creation of an environment for individuals (child & parent) to identify both their talent/s, and path towards making a meaningful contribution in moving our society forward. A strategy we fully endorsed.The early formation in sports assisted our son in being a more focused individual where he went on to complete his seven years schooling with Fatima College, followed by achieving a Diploma in Mechanical Engineering with UTT, and later certification as A&P Technician at George T Baker Aviation School (Miami). He is currently working as an A&P Technician in Florida.

SKHY Football Club is led by coaches with a wealth of knowledge and experience about the sport.  My years training with SKHY were filled with laughter and camaraderie.  Most importantly, however, I learned the discipline and dedication needed to be successful at football, and this has also benefitted me in other areas of my life. 

My first contact with SKHY Football Club was through Joel Hyacenth or “Big Joe” (as he is more affably known) on a Tour to the Dallas Cup in 1996.

After traveling from Belmont to Squadron Grounds after a couple of weeks, I had my doubts. However, this persistence paid off when I eventually earned a football scholarship.
 
The scholarship opportunity allowed me to fulfill my dream of attending college abroad where I obtained an undergraduate degree and a master’s degree, and this has provided a strong foundation for my current career. I’ve also met my wife abroad, therefore my current career and my family life has been significantly influenced by my decision to join SKHY.

I joined SKHY FC at the age of 19. At the club one thing you must learn is discipline, which I admired greatly about the club. During all of my years of training my levels of fitness, skill and tactical ability for the game improved tremendously. After all of my hard work at the club, I was offered the opportunity to further my studies in Business Management at Concordia College, from where I graduated proudly, four years later.

At SKHY, the coaches were like family, along with my teammates. After all these passing years, I always look back at the experiences I had at the club which I enjoyed to the fullest and if I had a chance to go back in time, I would do it all over again. What SKHY has done for me in my life is greatly appreciated and I would be forever grateful.
