The initiative to donate netballs to schools and sporting institutions continues the celebrations held from 13th to 19th August 2023, which marked the 50th and 45th anniversaries of the St. Kitts National Team’s victories in the 1973 and 1978 Caribbean Netball Championships in Grenada and St. Vincent, respectively. One key objective is to spark a resurgence of netball in schools, highlighted by the Powerade and Dasani Interschool Netball Championship in 2024.
The donated netballs will be put to immediate use as the CFBC Bulls Netball Club prepares to host the Ultimate Netball Tournament at Netball City on Saturday, 15th February 2025. The event will feature two games: CFBC Boys vs. CFBC Girls and an All-Girls match.
*The Association of St. Kitts and Nevis Descendants (ASKaND) is a new association, which at its core is the desire to bring people together that share a common heritage, culture and/or interest in St. Kitts and Nevis. It seeks to promote and highlight our twin-island heritage, culture and interests through community activism, the arts, member and community events and education.
