For Immediate Release:
7/15/2020
Honolulu, HI
The Hawai’i Soccer Academy and Hawai’i United F.C. today announced that they have entered in a strategic partnership that will benefit youth soccer players island-wide. This collaboration comes on the heels of the announcement of Hawai’i Soccer Academy being recently chosen as a US Club Soccer ‘Players First’ Club, the only club in the state to receive this honor. Both Oahu-based organizations recognized the need to bridge the geographical gap for kids across the island to receive top level licensed coaching, as well as more diverse opportunities in regards to expanded player pools, playing opportunities in league games and tournaments, as well as off-island travel opportunities. In addition, college coach exposure, coaching education, operational assistance, and working together to create a top level tournament are all in the works.
Club Directors James Escobar Sasiadek and Mohamed Doma have visions of creating ‘something different’ in the soccer community. “We want to help each other as two different organizations, without fear of losing players or coaches, or some of the other things that happen in our soccer environment.” mentioned Hawaii Soccer Academy director Sasiadek. “We will instead be able to supplement, support, and succeed together by extending both of our clubs’ resources. At Hawaii Soccer Academy we have slowly built a formula for success, and have expanded to east Oahu, Waipio, in addition to our West Oahu home base. After meeting with Mohamed, he has started something really special in town, with almost identical visions for the short and long term future for his kids, and with the quality coaching staff he is putting together, I am assured Hawaii United will have success.”
Hawaii Soccer Academy founder James Sasiadek added, “As many who live on the island of Oahu can attest, traffic and practice locations can be a challenge for families island-wide. With this partnership players from both clubs will be able to play and train for either H.S.A, or Hawaii United FC during the week depending on their location and age group, as well as games on the weekends, and local and mainland tournaments. Having multiple field locations across the island will also allow for scrimmages, coaching educational sessions, and a convenience for parents which is paramount.”
Hawaii United FC President, Mohamed Doma stated, “This partnership provides the way forward for soccer in Hawai’i. The opportunities for our clubs increase many fold when we cooperate in a positive way and focus on our players first. This is an exciting opportunity that we could not bypass and H.S.A. has proven to be one of the premier soccer organizations on the Island of Oahu, by doing things the right way. We are very optimistic that our parents and players will take advantage of all of the benefits and opportunities that this partnership provides to both clubs.”
