It’s just hours away before the Opening Ceremony of the 2010 Windward Islands School Games, scheduled to be held in St. Lucia from July 24th – August 02, 2010,. All is ready to host the scores of students and officials.
From each island will come a contingent of 48, inclusive of 40 athletes and 8 officials, and they will be housed at the Gros-Islet Secondary School for the duration of the Games.

 
 

Already the Games Village accommodation inclusive of showers and catering has been tested by the members of the Saint Lucia team this past weekend, and passed with flying colours.
The Beausejour Indoor Facility will host the Male and Female basketball, netball, and volleyball matches, with football to be played at the Gros-Islet Playing Field, the Mindoo Philip Park, and or the Vigie Playing Field.
Interestingly if all goes according to plan, one of the initiatives for this year’s Games will be the playing of football under lights at the Gros-Islet Playing Field; if the lights have been energized in time. Officials of the Department of Youth and Sports in Saint Lucia are confident this will be done.
The George Odlum Stadium at Vieux-Fort will host the Opening Ceremony and Track and Field Championships.
