Government has uniquely positioned St. Kitts and Nevis to become a major player in the world of sports but locals must be willing to act to make this potential a reality.

This was stressed by President Neville “Teddy” McCook of the North American, Central American and Caribbean Athletic Association (NACAC) during a January 08 press conference at the Warner Park cricket stadium.

“You are in an environment where you have facilities that can accommodate four major sports,” said McCook, adding that the completion of the Bird Rock athletic stadium will expand that number to five. “What you need is the leadership of these individual [sport associations] to start looking to see how they can utilize these facilities.”
