🌺🎉 GUESS WHO’S BACK, BABY!!! 🎉🌺
The 3rd 17 & Under FSM Games is here and we’re coming in HOT like Pohnpei sun at noon!!

🏀🔥 The court is about to SHAKE with 5 fierce Boys teams and 2 bold Girls teams ready to battle it out Island-style! So let’s give a BIG Island welcome to our ballers:
💪 Boys Division:

🟢 Prime 1 – Repping Pohnpei’s finest from the Sports NGO crew!

🟢 Prime 2 – Because one Prime ain’t enough when the talent’s this good!

🔵 Pohnpei State – Your defending CHAMPS from last year, ready to protect the home court!

🔴 Chuuk Boys – Crossing the lagoon with skills, speed, and serious swag!

🟡 Sangkumi Resouth – A Sport powerhouse NGO Youth Group from Chuuk, ready to make some noise!

👑 Girls Division:

A legendary Best-of-5 showdown between:

🌸 Prime Girls (Pohnpei) – Young, fast, and ready to claim the crown!

🐚 Chuuk Girls – Last year’s CHAMPS – back to defend their title with Chuuk State pride!

🎤 And to our Kosrae and Yap fam – we miss you! Don’t worry, there's always next time! 🫶 Mark your calendars and start training and fundraising because the 4th 17 & Under FSM Games is headed to Chuuk next year! 🇫🇲

📣 CHEERLEADERS, WHERE YOU AT?!📣

This ain’t just a tournament—it’s a SHOWDOWN!
🎺 Bring your pans, pots, spoons, and chants and come cheer your hearts out! Let’s hear those island drums and war cries—shake the gym walls and lift your teams with that loud, proud island energy!

🤷🏽‍♂️ “Eh, why more teams?” Easy! Because this is your open invitation – NGOs, States, Youth Groups – if you’re growing the sport, reach out and join the movement!

📍All the action goes down at the Pohnpei State Sports Gym – where legends are made and ankle-breakers are born!

📅 Schedule attached to this post! Bring your flags, your cheers, and your coconut water – it’s game time!

📸 Bring your phones, your cameras, and go LIVE on your social media!
We’d love to cover every angle of this amazing event but…
💸 let’s be honest… we’re busy, underfunded, and running on LOVE and Bowl ramen.

Maybe—just maybe—some big business or influencer rolls up mid-game and say:
“I got a fancy camera and a heart for the kids… lemme hook you up.”
👀 Until then, we’re out here surviving with phone tripods made from coconuts and broomsticks.

🎥 YOU are the media crew.
🎉 YOU are the sports anchor.
💃 YOU are the halftime show.

So post it, snap it, tag it, and let’s make some noise online—Island style!

🎤 Mic Test, Mic Test... 1, 2, 3... IS THIS THING ON?! 🎤
HELLLOOOOO FSM FAM and the entire Sports Gang!!!

Should we bring back the FSM Games after 23 years? 👀
The 3rd one was in 2001…
Is it time for the 4th? 🇫🇲🔥
YES or NO? 👇💬

Good afternoon relocated and ready to resume the wrestling match will be going live soon when the matches start!!!!! Shout out to the wrestlers who helped out!!!!!

We want to apologize for the inconvenience that this message may bring to our views: the Second half of the FSM wrestling Tournament was canceled. There a World War 2 bomb found on the campus. Everyone had to evacuate the premises. All matches today had to be postponed to tomorrow. We will resume our matches tomorrow as planned but at Pohnpei Gym. Again so sorry for the inconvenience. Have a blessed day and thank you for supporting both teams in spirit and online.

Also, follow their page to keep up with their achievements—because let’s be real, watching them win might just inspire you to trade your couch for a gi! 😂 Who knows? Next time, it could be YOU bringing home the medals! 🏆💪

The grind was real, and the results speak for themselves. Now rest up, celebrate, and get ready for the next one! 👊💯
