“I want to wish you girls well and I know you will make the association proud; this is one more achievement for us that will assist in the development of athletics,” Hermonstine noted.
McCalmont shared her expectations of the programme, “my expectation of this workshop is to gain additional knowledge about the kids’ athletics programmed and how we can provide an active programme that will help to develop their physical skills from an early age.
“I also expect to find ways to get more young children healthy and actively involved in sports and to provide a sustainable framework for developing young talent in athletics,” McCalmont stated.
