LEADERSHIP VISION

James Sasiadek | ALBION SC Hawaii Honolulu DOC
“This is a pivotal moment for soccer in Hawaii. Hawaii Soccer Academy has always been built on technical growth, character, and long-term player development and most importantly, on the HSA ʻOhana — the relationships and trust we’ve built with our players, coaches, and families. That foundation does not change. By aligning with ALBION SC Hawaii, we’re building on what we’ve established since 2015, while connecting our players to proven national platforms.

Through collaboration across Windward Oʻahu, West Oʻahu, Honolulu, Hawaiʻi Kai, and Maui — combining player depth and sharing coaching curriculum — we are raising standards together across the islands. This move creates more opportunity, stronger competition, and clearer pathways for Hawaiʻi players, all while staying rooted in the values and leadership that built us. This is going to be something very special; our organization and members just got upgraded to first class, and I couldn’t be more excited.”

Brent Nunes | ALBION SC Hawaii Technical Director
“We’re beyond excited to welcome Hawaii Soccer Academy into the ALBION SC ʻOhana. This partnership is more than just a collaboration; it’s a celebration of shared core values, player development, and a clear vision and pathway for the future of the game across the island and beyond.

I have known James Sasiadek for many years and have witnessed his dedication and relentless work ethic. He and his staff have done a great job developing top players and high-level teams. Our leadership team is looking forward to implementing our systems and player development methodology. Together, we will grow stronger as one ALBION family to offer great resources for our players, coaching staff, and families at ALBION SC Honolulu.”

Noah Gins | CEO, ALBION SC
“The expansion of ALBION Hawaii across Maui, Oahu, and now Honolulu marks a defining moment for youth soccer in the islands. By bringing Hawaii Soccer Academy into the ALBION family, we’ve created one of the largest, most connected, and most ambitious player development ecosystems in Hawaii.

ALBION Hawaii now stands as the model club in the state — a true pathway for young players with collegiate dreams and the desire to reach the highest levels of the game.”
