G. I. Youth
Football kicks off
The
2010 Gros Islet Youth Football Porgramme now
into its third year will commence this Saturday
6th February at the Gros Islet Secondary School
Grounds situated at Beausejour. Last weekend
a meeting was held for all participants at the
Gros Islet playing field. The program caters
for young boys and girls between the ages of
5-15 years old who are interested in the sport
of football while enhancing and developing their
skills and talent.
Jennifer Gaston the Administrator of the program
said, “The success of the program is due
to the assistance of coaches who are led by
Francis “Oats” Lastic, supporters
and businesses that have also contributed to
the program by not only providing opportunities
to play football, but also towards the development
of the youths in all aspects. Part of the program
training also includes self development, attitude
and behavior on and off the field, in order
to improve their approach to life and their
own personal development.”
Gaston has confirmed that the program is free
to all participants after recognizing that the
majority of the young interested children could
not afford to pay registration fees. Therefore,
she extended a big thank you to all who have
come on board and given of their time and service
on a voluntary basis, having recognized the
impact of such contribution on the youths and
the community of Gros Islet.

Gaston further
went on to say, due to the closing of the
Gros Islet Playing Field for the rehabilitation
works for the upcoming ICC World Twenty/20
Cricket Tournament, effective today Saturday
6th February 2010 and all Saturdays after,
all training will be done at the Gros Islet
Secondary school Grounds situated at Beausejour
from 9:00 am.
Meanwhile, the Gros Islet Youth Program received
a quantity of football gear from German visitors
who are holidaying in St. Lucia. Accompanying
them is St. Lucia’s Regis Gustave who
is the Golf Pro at the Waldeck Golf Club which
is located just outside Frankfurt.
The group consisted of Hoost Kleinschmidt
who is the Prisident of the Waldeck Football
Team, Dirk Ostrowski, Angela Klima and Alstan
Devage. Regis recalled meeting Gaston a few
years ago and having a conversation with her
about the Gros islet Youth Football Program.
Following his return to Germany, Regis spoke
to his friends who were more than willing
to make a donation. They did just that last
weekend near the Gros Islet Playing Field
during a brief handing over ceremony.
Gaston who was accompanied by youth footballer
Jardel Largen, is grateful for the generous
donation and said. “The Gros Islet Youth
Football Program relies on contributions like
this to continue to be successful.”
