IslandStats.com
The Bermuda Olympic Association announced the selection of Team Bermuda for the upcoming Central American and Caribbean (CAC) Games, to be held in San Salvador and the Dominican Republic, from June 23rd - July 9th, 2023.

Each athlete and team have successfully met the established qualifying standards for their respective sport, a tribute to their commitment and dedication in preparation for the Games. Bermuda has a very strong team heading to San Salvador and the Dominican Republic with representation from 11 different sports.

Jon Beard, the Chef de Mission for the CAC Games remarked, “I’m honored to be the Chef de Mission for the 2023 CAC Games in El Salvador. These Games are for the athletes and it’s always a privilege to watch Bermuda compete in regional international competitions. The facilities for many sports are brand new or have been recently renovated. The people of San Salvador have been welcoming and very friendly with pre-game preparations. Cities normally have four years to prepare for CAC, however, Panama withdrew as the host city two years ago, and San Salvador stepped up to host and will do an excellent job!”

The BOA’s Standard Committee chair, Katura Horton-Perinchief commented, “Perhaps the most satisfying part of the extensive job the Standard Committee has, is the ability to select qualified athletes to represent the country in multi-sport events. The BOA is sending an unprecedented number of athletes who will not only participate at the CAC Games but should be quite competitive. The team consists of athletes who offer a mix of experience levels. We will see Bermuda represented in Archery, Beach Volleyball and Golf for the first time, which speaks even louder to the depth of talent on the island and the commitment to excellence our athletes and national sports governing bodies uphold. We know Team Bermuda will do the island proud at the Games.”

Minister of Sports Announces Investment Funds Allocation

IslandStats.com
Minister of Sport, Senator Owen K Darrell, delivered the following in the Senate today.

Madam President, the Department of Youth, Sport & Recreation is committed to enhancing sport and recreation at all levels and recognizes that sports associations must be supported to ensure their growth and development. A key focus is to assist our National Sport Governing Bodies (NSGBs) in developing sustainable and effective pathway structures to facilitate an increased number of participants and improve performance.

In this regard, the Department commits to funding NSGBs through the Sports Investment Program (SIP). The SIP provides funding to National Sports Governing Bodies to support and assist with developing athletes, coaches, and sporting programs.

There are principles guiding our investment decisions, Madam President, and they inform planning and decision-making, impact how we operate and communicate, and set the context for improvement.

To this end, Madam President, The Department has invested in the following categories for the 23/24 budget cycle:

1. High Performance,
2. Junior Development/Programming, and
3. Coach Development

Madam President, the increasing number of recognized NSGBs bodes well for sports in Bermuda as organizations continue to show good governance and development. The Department of Youth, Sport, and Recreation will continue to provide a transparent process for NSGBs to access funding based on the principles of accountability, equity, and outcomes. Accordingly, the Government’s deep commitment to sports will continue with this programme and others to show that Sport Matters.

Thank you, Madam President.
