Hi, I am a 20 years old soccer player. I'm Haitian. I go to school at FSU in tallahassee,fl. I need to get in contact with The Haitian staff like the federation or whoever is in charge of the national team. I am going to germany next summer to train and tryout for this third division team. I want to get in touch with haitian officials. I'm also on the player pool for he U.S under-23 team, but I wanna play for my native country because there is more passion and love for the game. So if anyone knows what I should do please let me know, I would really appreciate it. Thank you

I'm a good soccer player too. but personnal reasons can't get me enough time to play regularly. so i'm just lay back right now.

just last year i was the only one from my school to make the City All-star game. and all the coaches were impressed by my ability. but again personal reasons makes me have to chose the other direction. so now since i've been out of high school. i can only play soccer for fun with my friends.. local clubs wanted me to play for them but HEY! i know a lot of talented haitian young men who can play very good. but we are not living in haiti.we have to do what we have to do to make a living. i'm only 18 it's ashame to waste my talent. only God knows.

Phaiti,

You should take playing soccer seriously. If you're good, you could get a scholarship playing soccer and make it to the MLS as a professional soccer player.

Don't waste your talent, you're still young. Find time to play, it can payoff, specially in this country!

Peace!

Phaiti,

get in contact with me. and I can tell you how to get in contact with some good people. But only if you are serious. You're only 18 you're still young. I'm going to germany next summer. I'm 20, so if I can make it. you can too. and I'm so close of making it. Playing division 3 in germany it's ok for me. that's my way out. when I get there all I gotta do is prove my talent and see if I can get a bigger contract. just try to contact me.

Haiti2006,

Congratulations on you Germany contract, which div 3 club will you be playing for?

Keep working on your dream, it looks like we were not the only ones complaining about the FHF. Hopefully something will change soon!

Peace!

Panoramix,

First, first let me congratulate the young Haitian on his opportunity, may he makes the best of it and prosper. To the other player, don't let your talents go to waste. If you are really that good, Please contact me and I can set you up to meet with a few college coaches. (Ray from UCON - Tarrantini from North Carolina State U - Assistant Coach Diffley from St John.) and to get back to you Paronamix I have to say that I share your concern and your ideas. There should be a major change in the FHF in order to get our football to the next level. We need to have a federation that will invest in scouting and go after Haitian players abroad. We have to redesign our league. Forget about copying the Argentinian league format, go back to the old and successfull format.

1) Coupe Pradel 1st and 2nd division.

2) 3me and 4me division during the summer.

3) Coupe Inter regionale.

4) Coupe des coupe (champion from each town tournament).

5) Re establish the Coupe Inter Scolaire with Minime, Cadet and Junior.

Another way, get to country to play football again, this will be a great source of talents to choose from and the National team will be much better in the years to come.

Feel free to add, comment or discuss my ideas regardless on how you feel about them.

The team is Stuttgart Kickers in germany. They are in the third division but they are very strong as my agent told me. They offered me a contract but my agent said I might be able to get more after the first season pending on my performance. The goaol is to play first division. But I gotta start somewhere. Playing in Germany? WOW.

Phaiti. if you are only 18. I want to tell you that there are a lot of programs out there for you. you just gotta get out and start looking. nobody is going to come to you and say here you are a star.

one thing that is very surprising to me. those reps from Stuttgart know about Chenko. "James St-cyr". he used to play or still do ply in the U-20. he's a product of Viollette AC. I used to play in viollette with him. way back when I used to live in haiti. in the category "minime." with coach "Jacky". we kind alost contact after I left Haiti.

One thing I want to say is that. They are watching Haitian players. believe it or not. so we gotta go out and play more games and exposed our merchandise to the worldd expecially in europe.

is it true that Chenko was in a tryout for club de lion in france? my brother told me that.

Cassa,

Back when we had all those tounements, our players played more higher level games. An open cup system like the coupe pradel is very important. I agree with everything you said, but this is what we are dealing with:

League Format: Although they cut the Championnat National into two championship, the LINAF/FHF can't adequately manage a 15 games tournement. The LINAF can't abide to the rules that they are supposed to enforce and create regulatory conflicts between the clubs (every season).

The 2 part championship has the advantage of being flexible, this is important in a country like Haiti. For example, the championnat could have restarted a few months after Aristide was removed from power, but the FHF chose to cancel it for the year. We were still trying to qualify for world cup 2006, and our league was inactive.

Here are a few players that might have helped our cause against Jamaica, if we had proper management at the FHF:

Pierre-Roland St. Jean (01-02 Baltimore)(03 Violette)

Ronald Michel (ASCAR)

Jean Rebert Menelas (Roulado)

Championnat Interscholaire doesn't have a scholarship system to to encourage the young students to keep playing soccer. Many students (talented soccer players) can't afford to play soccer in Haiti. It all start with leadership and we have none.

1: Vision

2: Plan

3: Organization

4: Execution

Those words don't exist in the FHF, yet they represent the whole country and its diaspora. To the rest of the world, they are the best haitian football managers and planners that Haiti can produce.
