Implementation of the National Sports Policy progresses to the formation of parish sports councils in each parish, as well as Carriacou and Petite Martinique.

Minister for Youth and Sports Sen. Hon. Jonathan La Crette believes that this stage is essential to the holistic development of sports. During a recent meeting with the Minister and representatives from the country’s National Federations, the pressing need to maintain the vibrancy of sports in every parish was highlighted.

The National Sports Council (NSC) Secretariat will be leading the conversations about the nomination and election procedures for officers at the parish level.

Each structured sporting discipline in the parish must have a representative on the Council. If no leagues exist, delegates will be chosen from clubs, schools, teams, and individual athletes, as well as the relevant leagues and organisations within each parish, if applicable.

In addition, an Executive Committee will be formed from council members, consisting of the following officers: Chairman, Vice Chairman, Secretary, Treasurer (Finance Officer), and 3 Directors.

Each parish will have its own office, which will be supervised by an office manager and a parish coordinator. The Executive Body or Board of Directors will be paid a monthly stipend to spearhead the reform of sports in its parish.

The election process and criteria for nomination will be discussed from 16 March to 30 April 2024. The NSC encourages parishioners to participate.

The meetings will commence at 6 pm at the respective locations, except Carriacou and Petite Martinique, which are still to be finalised.

Date Parish Location
16 March St Andrew St Andrew Methodist School
18 March St Patrick St Patrick Catholic School
19 March St David Corinth Government School
20 March St John Cuthbert Peters Park
21 March St George Grenada Boys Secondary School
25 March St Mark Bonair Government School
4 April Carriacou Hillsborough Government School
5 April Petite Martinique Petite Martinique Government School

Nominations for the various posts of parish executives are to be submitted to the National Sports Council, and signed by 2 nominators. The deadline for nominations is as follows:

  • 6 April: St Andrew
  • 8 April: St Patrick
  • 9 April: St David
  • 11 April: St John
  • 12 April: St George
  • 15 April: St Mark
  • 18 April: Carriacou and Petite Martinique

Election dates per parish are as follows:

Date       Parish Location
15 April St John Cuthbert Peters Park
16 April St Mark Bonair Government School
17 April St Patrick St Patrick Catholic School
18 April St Andrew St Andrew Methodist
19 April St David Corinth Government School
