| The first week of intensive skills development training at the Adrian T Hazell Primary School was a success. With close to 70 students participating, organizers were extremely happy with turn out and event as a whole. Make up sessions for days missed due to Tropical Storm Irene are underway every Saturday at Adrian T Hazell Primary school. Practice for juniors is from 8 am to 12 noon and for seniors, from 1 pm to 5 pm. |
A small awards ceremony where all campers received participatory certificates and commemorative pins was well attended by the campers and their parents. Prizes were given to campers displaying great sportsmanship, most improved skills, all-star performance and coveted MVP titles.
Permanent Secretary for Education, Youth & Culture and Sports, Mrs Chanelle Petty Barrett, was in attendance and gave the closing remarks on a job well done to everyone.
