Youth
Elshot was born in Paramaribo, Suriname, a former Dutch colony. As a young boy, he moved to Geleen, a town in Limburg, the Netherlands. At age six, he moved to Groningen in the northern part of the country, and this was also where he started his footballing career, at local amateur side, Gronitas. Some years later, he moved to GVAV/Rapiditas, an amateur club known as one of FC Groningen's feeder clubs. He was therefore brought to FC Groningen in 1995, and was introduced to the first team a year later.
