In the wake of Hurricane Beryl, the St. Vincent and the Grenadines Netball Association has announced that the Vincy Jewels Under 21 team will not compete in the Americas Netball World Youth Cup Qualifiers in Guadeloupe. The hurricane’s impact has made it logistically impossible for the team to travel.
This difficult decision comes as the nation grapples with the aftermath of the storm. The SVG Netball Association has received support and offers of assistance from regional associations for the affected netballers. Despite the setback, the Association is committed to providing opportunities for young athletes and is moving forward with plans for its 2024 Summer Program, set to take place in August.
