Baseball programme to be implemented in St Catherine

The International Little League Association and the Jamaica Baseball association have joined forces to kick-start a baseball programme in St Catherine.

The programme involves the hosting of training clinics for coaches and players funded by the two associations. This development was discussed at a meeting at the Blue Oasis Restaurant, located at the Big Buy Plaza, in Portmore.

So far, 20 schools have shown interest, and according to Errol Matthias from Ascot Primary, he is looking at October for the start of the league, which comprises boys and girls ages 9-12 years.

Making contributions to the meeting were Leon Taylor, assistant district administrator for International Little League; and Gary Sewell, also of the International Little League.

Ascot won the baseball competition for primary schools last year - a league put on by INSPORTS.
