The Laws of the Game are the codified rules that help define association football. These laws are published by the sport’s governing body FIFA, with the approval of the International Football Association Board, the body that writes and maintains the laws. The laws mention: the number of players a team should have, the game length, the size of the field and ball, the type and nature of fouls that referees may penalize, the frequently misinterpreted Offside law, and many other laws that define the sport.

R.I.P Carib Team Captain

Posted on June 15, 2011 by admin

Mark Williams aka Gumsham/Tringum

What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why someone left this earth so soon, or why they left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that they died, but that they lived. And that their life gave us memories too beautiful to forget.

We are deeply saddened by the loss of our team captain Mark Williams aka Gumsham/Tringum. Mark was a true leader and mentor to our players, always respectful and offering words of encouragements. We will cherish the memories of the times he spent leading Carib United FC to their first ever semi-finals. Our thoughts and prayers goes out to his close and extended family.

Position: Striker/Midfielder

Carib United FC has been more of a blessing for me than anything. My idea on our club is that we are more than a soccer team – we are a family… a movement. I consider all of my teammates to be my brothers, united together to play this game of football; as well as the coaching staff to be my father-figures on the field and give me & the rest of my teammates the proper guidance on not only ball, but LIFE in general. I’ve gained so much knowledge from being on this squad, from every single individual involved withCarib United FC.

The position me and my teammates hold within the field is more of a responsibility than just a position, this factor alone is motivation for me to account for the responsibilities that I possess within my life. These responsibilities reflect on the seriousness I have to pursue my long-term goals, therefore my actions on the field parallels to my actions in life. Me and all members of Carib United FC practice and play football together; pray with each other; and win lose or draw as a whole unit once we step on the field. This is my club… CARIB UNITED FC, and I rep that to the fullest!

I am so happy  to have  the chance to play for Carib United FC, this club is a part of my life now. Because of Carib I am now a college student, I know with what I have learned from my team and coaching staff, I will succeed. I would encourage anyone to play for Carib United FC. I would like to thank our sponsors,  board of directors, management, coaching staff, players and our dedicated fans, without all your contributions and support there wouldn`t be a Carib United FC.

 One of the greatest things I admire about Carib is how they make the youths their # one priority, always reaching out to the privilege and underprivileged in the community, helping them to achieve their goals. This kind of mentorship will help me personally in my everyday life. One thing I know for sure is that the team is full of love, unity, joy, happiness, caring, sharing, respect and last but not least, reasoning. If I have a problem I can talk to the coaches about it and everything will be resolved in a peaceful way, I can share my views about anything.

My greatest desire is to see Carib continued to build the youths, helping the futureless obtain a future. Any where I am Carib will always be a part of me and will always be my team win, lose or draw. Big up to CARIB UNITED FC every time, CARIB to di world!!
