Residents of Carriacou have given overwhelming support to the plans for the implementation of the National Policy on Sports and Physical Activity.<\/p>\n
A new round of consultation on the policy was recently started by the NDC Government, including a meeting in Carriacou that was addressed by Minister for Sports, Hon. Ron Redhead. Others participating in the consultation included Transitional Lead in the Ministry of Sports, Patrick Simmons; Minister for Carriacou and Petite Martinique Affairs & Local Government, Hon. Tevin Andrews; and Senior Coordinator of Sports Kerlon Peters.<\/p>\n
Budgetary allocation, Minister Redhead said, has already been made for the implementation of the sports policy, which will provide a structured framework for sports and physical activity in the tri-island state. He added that Carriacou and Petite Martinique will positively benefit from the sports policy.<\/p>\n
The Minister noted that the transformation of sports on Carriacou has already started with the presentation of footballs, new basketball equipment and soon a portal boxing ring.<\/p>\n
Some concerns were raised by participants at the consultation, including challenges facing athletes such as lack of support and insufficient exposure to further training.<\/p>\n
Among other issues of concern were the mental health of athletes; and the need to expose Carriacou and Petite Martinique athletes to other traditional and nontraditional sports, especially swimming, and constructing a swimming pool for training.<\/p>\n
Minister Redhead and Mr. Simmons promised positive changes through collaborative undertakings that will involve the Ministries of Sports, Education and Health.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
