Vansluytman outfits Santa Rosa Secondary ahead of MILO football tournament

Former Santa Rosa Secondary School (SRSS) football captain and standout defender, Roy Vansluytman, has made a generous donation to his alma mater, providing football kits to the players as they prepare for the upcoming 2025 MILO Schools Football Tournament.

Vansluytman, who led SRSS to their historic MILO Schools Football Tournament victory in 2023, was a key figure in the team’s success.

As captain, his leadership and solid defensive skills helped guide the team to championship glory.

His outstanding performances throughout the competition also earned him the tournament’s Most Valuable Player (MVP) award.

Reflecting on his decision to give back, Vansluytman stated, “During my time as a student-athlete, we didn’t have adequate equipment, yet we were still able to succeed. I hope that by making this contribution, it helps the team excel even more than we did.”

The donation comes at a crucial time, as the team intensifies its preparations for one of the most competitive school football events in the country.

Vansluytman’s gesture not only provides much-needed resources, but also serves as motivation for the young players who aspire to follow in his footsteps.

With their 2023 championship win still fresh in memory, Santa Rosa Secondary remains a strong contender in this year’s tournament.

The school has built a solid reputation for producing talented footballers, and Vansluytman’s continued support ensures that the tradition of excellence carries on for the next generation of players.

Santa Rosa Secondary will kick off their 2025 MILO campaign against Brickdam Secondary on March 16, 2025, at the Ministry of Education Ground. The match is scheduled to start at 18:30h.
