Trinidad & Tobado Sports and Luxury Honeymoon Packages

Football
When we say 'Are you ready for some football'? We don't mean the American kind. We mean football - the kind played with your feet - the kind North Americans call soccer. Either way, this too is a beloved sport in our twin isles. Like cricket, love of the game usually springs from childhood exposure to 'kicking ball'. It is also a sport that is synonymous with national unity. On November 19th 1989, when Trinidad and Tobago played their final qualifying match against the USA for entry into the 1990 World Cup Series, the Holy Grail of Football Tournaments, our National Stadium was overflowing with Trinbagonians bedecked in red to demonstrate our unwavering support. We may have left the stadium defeated, but the palpable joy of knowing that our team - our country - meant that much to us could never be measured and therein lies the magic of the sport.

Volleyball
The sport of Volleyball was introduced to Trinidad and Tobago by Canadian Missionaries as early as the 1930s and now it is as popular as ever. Our country hosted the Caribbean Volleyball Championships in 1993, which certainly raised the profile of the sport - in addition to it being played in competitive environments, beach volleyball is also a favorite pastime. There is also a huge interest in volleyball at the school level - both primary and secondary. Interest in the sport also seems to be fairly well divided between boys and girls.

Rugby
Rugby may be perceived as a rough and tumble sport, but it's one that is certainly popular here in Trinidad and Tobago. There's something to the spirit of this game that captivates people - players and spectators alike. Rugby is a challenging sport - one that places heavy emphasis on improving conditioning, working hard and yet having fun at the same time. Running and handling skills are key and are often taught to children from as early as twelve or thirteen. Many of these youngsters go on to have a lifelong love and appreciation for the sport.

Triathlon
This is an event that requires nothing less than sheer determination and incredible physical condition. It is a sport of the mind as much as it is a challenge of the body. Triathlon requires proficiency in swimming, running and cycling in order to compete effectively - if you are only strong in one discipline, you will surely fall behind at some point in the race.

Marathon
If you pass around the Queen's Park Savannah on any given morning or afternoon, you will see them - the runners. We are a nation that loves to run. We do well at Track and Field, as proven by our Olympic Gold Medal Winner, Hasley Crawford, and Olympic Medallist Ato Boldon.

Hockey
Both Field and Indoor Hockey are popular sports in Trinidad and Tobago - for both men and women. We are so serious about the game of hockey that Trinidad even has an artificial-grass playing field, located in Tacarigua, which meets international specifications. In addition to this, our islands have hosted several major tournaments and our top teams tour the region quite often for competitive events.

Golf
If you enjoy teeing off, you've come to the right place - you may be surprised to find out just how many Trinbagonians play golf. Perhaps our most high-profile player has been Stephen Ames, who resides in North America and has played on many acclaimed tours, alongside the likes of Tiger Woods.
