Success is winning in life
Founded in 1975 by Stanley H.C. Pao, Tri Nguyen, Tui Nguyen, Pinsoon Tenzing, and Jack Sullivan, the Honolulu Bulls Soccer Club (HSC Bulls) has grown into one of Hawaii’s most respected youth soccer programs. From its early days, the club has been guided by a commitment to excellence both on and off the field.
In 1986, the club became the first in Hawaii to launch a program supporting its coaches in obtaining formal licenses—marking a strong commitment to development and education. Initially, the club operated on a selective, invitation-only basis, placing a premium on quality and dedication.
At the Honolulu Bulls, every coach is seen as a vital piece of the puzzle, contributing to the growth of each player throughout their journey. The club operates as one family, working together to create a supportive, challenging, and connected environment. By the end of their youth soccer career, our hope is that every player leaves the club as a complete puzzle—shaped by diverse experiences, lasting relationships, and a deep love for the game.
The Bulls have always believed that true success goes beyond wins and trophies. While instilling a competitive and winning mentality, the club emphasizes long-term player development over short-term results. This means creating a challenging yet fun environment where young athletes are pushed to grow, supported by a community that values hard work, creativity, and a love for the game.
Over the years, the HSC Bulls have become a model for youth soccer in Hawaii, introducing methods designed to give players the tools to be creative, make intelligent decisions, and think quickly under pressure. Club-wide events and a unified developmental approach across all age groups and genders help foster team identity, skill, and confidence.
The club’s commitment to development has led to consistent success. The Bulls were the first in Hawaii to send both boys and girls teams to Regional Finals—and win them. In 2004, a boys team won the state’s first and only National Championship, followed by a girls team achieving the same feat in 2005. These milestones reflect the strength of a development-first approach that prepares players not only for elite competition, but also for success in life.
Today, the Honolulu Bulls continue to grow, united by a shared vision: to develop confident, skillful, and resilient players through a positive, challenging, and team-centered environment.
