Agreed, there is a victory of sorts when losing to better competition.

$1100 US may not be much but remember that the cost of sending a team is that fee plus travel and accommodations for the players and staff. Nevertheless it sounds like a good idea. Even if they take some licks, it might serve to help some of the players realize that dey eh reach nowhere yet and they still have real work to do.

Yes, it was the u15 team. I think they went in 2005

Yea, that year 2005 was LP's best year as TD, now it seems he has fallen into de fame mind frame as the others in the TTFF. To old to fight, he dont have the eagerness and energy to make a difference and just accept whatever he gets.

I believe if LP was much younger we would have seen a better TD because I know he is a knowledgeable person.

SKHY heads to US for Dallas Cup.
T&T Guardian Reports.

The SKHY Football Club from Trincity will be travelling to Dallas, Texas from April 13 to 24 to participate in the 2011 Dallas Cup which starts on April 17.

In the fourth consecutive year that SKHY is representing the country in the United States’ most distinguished youth tournament, as many as 36 players of the club’s under-14 and under-18 teams will be participating in the under-14 and under-19 divisions.

Club directors, Joel Hyacenth and Colin Skeene who are both coaches of the under-14 and under-18 teams respectively are preparing their team to face some of the best youth teams from major clubs in the United States, Mexico, Brazil, England, Germany, Czech Republic among other elite footballing countries.

Football powerhouses in Arsenal, Manchester United, Sparta Prague, Santos, Sao Paolo and other household names are regulars at the cup tournament. SKHY’s under-18 team will represent in the under-19s as there is no under-18 division in the Dallas Cup.

The club was represented by the under-14 team in last year’s Dallas Cup. SKHY insists that tournaments such as these do have a strong impact on the development of the young players while exposure to international teams will improve the quality and discipline of the emerging generation of national footballers.

Due to the expense of travel and accommodation that comes with the journey, players wishing to represent SKHY are required to either raise funds or seek sponsorship in order to represent the club.

The cost to fund a single player is amounted to $14,890.10. Interested sponsors can write cheques in the club’s name (SKHY Football Club) and indicate the child/children to whom they are sponsoring.

Skhy FC return from Dallas Cup.
By Shaun Fuentes.

Local academy Skhy FC returned from the 2013 Dallas Cup last month after ending the group phase with three defeats in the under-13 category.

The local outfit, which has made it their business to take local players to the prestigious Concacaf youth tournament on an annual basis, suffered a 4-0 loss to Arsenal FC of California, 3-0 to RCL Monterrey of Mexico and 5-0 to EDP TIP of East Brunswick. They also lost 4-0 to Whitakere City FC of Auckland in an opening 60 minute scrimmage.

Generally though, the outing was a seen as a beneficial experience to the youth players who stayed at the homes of local football families (Homestay program) in Dallas.

The Dallas Cup, sponsored by Dr Pepper received live television exposure on Time Warner Cable and included several top teams such as Manchester United, La Galaxy, Fulham and Club America among another 100 teams.

Four Trinidad and Tobago footballers to play in Dallas Cup.
T&T Newsday Reports.

FOUR players from Athletic International Academy (AIA) of TT will feature in this year’s 2023 Dallas Cup in the US.

The Dallas Cup is one of the most prestigious youth football competitions in North America.

Footballers Khaden Caraby, Desailly Bastien-Cowan, Angel Aragones and Isaiah Isaac left TT for Dallas, Texas on Thursday.

The quartet will represent TIRO FC in the tournament and are in the same group as hosts FC Dallas.

The tournament kicked off on Sunday.

Managing director of AIA Adrian Romain welcomed the partnership with TIRO and “sees the importance of Trinidadian players being exposed to these tournaments.”

He said, “The only way our football can get better at national level is preparing these kids at these younger age groups.”

Romain is hoping his players will impress scouts during the Dallas Cup.

“This opportunity is one where the Tacarigua-based players are expected to shine and put their hard work and natural talents to the test. This will give each player an enhanced chance to be scouted and viewed by major teams from across the world. Safe to say that this could be the beginning of something massive for these young men, not only professionally but academically. We wish them the very best of luck as they pursue their dreams.”

Romain said more plans are in place in 2023 to give players exposure. “We at AIA continue to be the gateway to opportunities and later on this year we have seven student athletes that will be leaving on athletic scholarships while our male and female Under-19 teams will be heading to the US for a tournament.”
