It is here again folks, the most exciting and far reaching, sports development camp on the island, the National Sports Council (NSC) Summer Sports Camp 2019! Expecting to host approximately 1200 campers (Ages 8-16yrs) for a six week period from July 8th to August 16th, the camp will provide coaching to the young charges in 29 disciplines across twelve venues. Exciting sports to be coached include cricket, football, volleyball, table tennis, chess and basketball, taekwondo, bodybuilding, body fitness. 

The overall aim is to introduce young persons to new sports, encourage the development of others in their preferred sports and generally to develop knowledge and discipline, so that future stars can be born that will develop into outstanding Barbadian and world athletes. The process starts here with the NSC camp and outstanding athletes like Kraigg Brathwaite and Akela Jones have made their mark through this Camp.

Additionally, the Camp is not sports alone and also seeks to develop the social, educational and cultural side of the athletes through exposures to cultural tours and workshops including, the # 1 Bajan Bus Stop, Sunbury Tours and the Beyond Limits experience. Workshops include those from National Council of Substance Abuse and the National Anti-Doping Commission (NADC) on drug prevention in sports, Crime Stoppers Prevention as well as a Meet the Media and Sagicor Insurance workshops to highlight the aspects of those two important sectors.  The National Sports Council Summer Sports Camp is generally a treasured one, with memories to last a lifetime, be there!
