Thanks in part to a solid coaching staff, a visionary SKNGSC-NY and a remarkably growing fan base, the seemingly well gelled group of players have made a name for St. Kitts and Nevis soccer by mercilessly pummeling their opponents. The youthful “Sugar Boyz” team, which was a top contender during the regular season, is now making waves as the playoffs heightens.

While most of the players reside in the New York area, reinforcements to the team have come by way of players residing at home.

Whatever formula has worked to bring this team of talented men together on the soccer field has gotten the nod of citizens residing in New York. Many came out last Sunday donning flags, scarves, shirts and hats bearing the St. Kitts and Nevis national flag. It was an extremely euphoric moment for citizens of the federation abroad.

The moment of victory sealed the confidence of fans and well wishers that the new look St. Kitts-Nevis soccer team can well be the next group of “Soccer Kings” in the prestigious Caribbean Cup Soccer Tournament.

Of notable mention is the exposure and subsequent academic opportunities the players are capitalizing on. Goal keeper Ian James has recently been accepted to Herkimer College in New York to pursue  studies commencing this Fall.

The St. Kitts-Nevis Football Associaton, coaches and organizers from the SKNGSC-NY worked successfully to bring Ian James to New York to participate in the 2015 Caribbean Cup tournament.

Life changing opportunities of this magnitude help to solidify the work being done by coaches, SKNFA, SKNSC-NY and the various individuals who are wholesomely committed to the sport of soccer.

We extend hearty congratulations to Ian and we are confident he will continue to excel in this new and exciting chapter of his life.
