Sixteen teams including the 2009 Under 10 Right Start Cup Champions Trendsetter Hawks will take part in the first ever National Under 10 football tournament scheduled  to take place on Sunday 11th April 2010 at the Republic Bank Sports Club in Barataria.
 
This event is an initiative of All Sport led by Anthony Harford whose objective is to develop the Under 10 brand not just in Trinidad and Tobago, but regionally as an annual event.
 
Teams from all ends of the country such as Pt. Fortin Civic Centre and Moruga Football Club will kick off at 10:00am to eagerly compete for over $7,500 in prize vouchers. Also in attendance to open the competition is TTFF Technical Director, Lincoln Phillips, legendary goalkeeper and champion for the Under 10 brand.

I hope this turns into a successful venture. These types of tournaments are badly needed for player development.
