OUR TIMELINE

THE PATH for the ssf started in 2009 with a focus on high performance soccer training for youth athletes who were determined to elevate their game to “the next level”.

in 2021, the ssf became official and inked a strategic plan to develop multi-sport, year round training opportunities for even more athletes in our island community.

as we partner with more supporters, sport foundations, and purpose-led organizations around the globe, We welcome you to join us in creating the path forward to empower youth athletes.
