The high level in the island is SKNFA National Premeir League that is a league that have supported well some players to play pro like DeVaughn Elliot that left Village Superstars to join Directv W Connection and today he is playing in Ascenso MX for Murciélagos FC, Julani Archibald that also left Village Superstars to play for W Connection and last season Ordell Flemming, also a forer Village Superstars' player, that joined Morvant Caledonia United.
