About Us

Shining Hammers Football Club is a non-profit youth program dedicated to introducing children ages 4 to 14 to the beautiful game of soccer. Founded in March 2024 by Abdul Habib, our club was born from a desire to inspire the next generation of players—our future stars ready to bring the hammer down on the pitch.

Abdul’s passion for the sport began in early childhood, and with over four years of professional coaching experience, he brings both expertise and heart to our mission. The program is powered by a team of devoted coaches, administrators, volunteers, and supportive parents, all working together to create an enriching and uplifting environment for every young player.

At Shining Hammers FC, we believe in developing skill, character, and a love for the game. As a community-driven, not-for-profit club, we are committed to offering both recreational and competitive programs tailored to each player's unique level and potential. Guided by certified coaching and a player-first mindset, our focus is on nurturing individual growth and team spirit.

Our mission is to deliver an exceptional youth soccer experience—where sportsmanship is celebrated, skills are sharpened, and young athletes thrive both on and off the field. We aim to foster a welcoming, inclusive environment where every member of the Shining Hammers family feels empowered and valued.

Through soccer, we help players unlock their full potential while instilling lifelong values such as teamwork, leadership, and resilience. At Shining Hammers FC, we're not just building better players—we're shaping stronger individuals and a united community.
