The Dominica Athletics Association (DAA) successfully staged its annual Juvenile Championships over the weekend at the Geneva Playing Field in Grand Bay, bringing together the island’s most promising young athletes for a dynamic showcase of track and field talent.
A total of 121 athletes representing 9 affiliated clubs and schools competed across 79 events in a spirited two-day competition held on June 22 and 23. The Championships featured a full range of disciplines—including sprints, middle-distance races, relays, long jump, and throws—geared toward developing athletes in the U7, U9, U11, U13, and U15 categories.
The meeting not only provided valuable competitive experience but also served as a scouting opportunity for the DAA to identify young athletes for future training and national representation. Tremendous talent and determination were witnessed from the young athletes. The DAA extended its appreciation to coaches, volunteers, officials, and supporters whose contributions ensured the smooth execution of the event.
