From tennis and sailing to netball, karate, cycling, squash, swimming, rugby, volleyball, and athletics—young Vincentians have unprecedented opportunities to learn, improve, and excel. This column details each camp’s objectives, dates, locations, and the philosophy that physical activity is a right for all.

As the FIFA World Cup 2026 kicks off on 11 June, concerns mount over player fatigue, declining match quality, geopolitical tensions, and controversial US immigration policies.

St Vincent and the Grenadines has a new government, but sport remains sidelined—underfunded, politically exploited, and lacking a coherent national strategy. This column argues for a transformative shift: a scientific approach rooted in research, public consultation, updated policy, and strategic planning.
