In the lead-up to participation in the 2023 CYG Games, the SKNOC-SKNCGA has held two (2)  important separate informative sessions with athletes and their parents. The first session was held  on Thursday 20th April 2023 and focused on the athlete’s selection criteria for participation, expectations of the SKNOC-CGA, and general Commonwealth Youth Games information. The  second was held on Wednesday 12th July 2023 and dealt with Safeguarding in Sports, Anti Doping and General Etiquette.  

The SKNOC President, Mr Alphonso Bridgewater, while attending the July 12th session with the  athletes and their parents, congratulated the athletes on their selection to the 2023 CYG Team  and highlighted the SKNOC/SKNCGA continued investment in the development of the  Federation’s youth. The president went on to encourage the parents to throw their support  behind their children especially considering all the negatives that are currently plaguing the youths in our society. 

The SKNOC-SKNCGA has also provided financial assistance towards the participation of the  athletes in local and regional pre-Games competitions. The most recent was a 3-day Beach  Volleyball training camp in St Marteen for the Beach Volleyballers.  

The Beach Volleyball competition begins on Saturday 5th August, whilst the Athletics/Track and Field competition will be held from Monday 7th August 2023.  

The SKNOC-SKN-CGA Executive wishes the team well.
