The Commonwealth of Dominica Sports Division has set the ball rolling for its Grassroots Football programme, marking the commencement of a new season filled with enthusiasm and dedication. The inaugural sessions kicked off on Tuesday, with two locations hosting events simultaneously—Concord, featuring Concord Primary, and Marigot, featuring the WS Stevens Primary School.
The Grassroots Football programme is a crucial initiative aimed at nurturing young talent, providing foundational skills, and instilling a passion for the sport from an early age. The enthusiastic participation at Concord and Marigot reflected an eagerness of the young athletes to embrace the game and build a strong foundation for their future in football.
In parallel developments, the Sports Division organized a specialized workshop tailored for Physical Education (PE) teachers and Youth Sports Officers. The focus of the workshop centered on the development of motor skills, with a special emphasis on the essential skill of rolling. This workshop, conducted by Sport Aid Dominica, took place at the prestigious Windsor Park Stadium—a central hub for sports development in Dominica.
The initiative to train PE teachers and Youth Sports Officers underscores the commitment of the Sports Division to provide quality training and resources for those involved in shaping the athletic potential of the nation’s youth. The emphasis on motor skill development, particularly rolling, highlights the Division’s holistic approach to fostering well-rounded athletes.
