The Best Midfielder was Dimiko Jordan of Kickstart Premier.

FM Four Pillars were also crowned Under-17 kings, with Mavericks Heat second and Technique third. 

Jarrell Prescod of Four Pillars was named Best Goalkeeper, with his teammate Kiron Padmore winning the award for Best Defender. Ashaun Grecia, also of Four Pillars, won the Best Midfielder and MVP awards. 

Meanwhile, Jamarco Johnson of Kickstart Rush grabbed the Most Goals award.

Whitehall won the Under-13 title, with Kickstart Premier second and National Sports Council third. 

Whitehall’s Jelani Sealy was named Best Goal Keeper, while his teammates Andre Spencer and Zion Green claimed the Best Defender and Best Midfielder awards, respectively. Greene also took home the MVP Award, while Tabarry Chandler of United Stars Alliance secured the award for Most Goals.

Speaking to Barbados TODAY, FM Four Pillars Academy’s head coach, Fabian Massiah credited his entire organisation for the successful year.

“I was happy with this success, but kudos to all the coaches, the players and the management teams. For 2026, we just plan to continue developing. I always tell the boys that if they continue to do the right things, the success will come and it’s not always matched by trophies; we set our eyes on getting to a particular level,” Massiah said.

Massiah explained that the Academy’s traditional summer plans have been tweaked this year.

“There is no summer tour this year because of the football World Cup and ticket prices to the US were pretty high. We have postponed everything till either later in the year, probably December and if not December, then next summer,” he said.
