CAY HILL-- As from April 21, the National Sports Institute (NSI) merged with the Foundation Upkeep Sports Facilities (FUSF). After a process of about three years the NSI has finally taken over all tasks and responsibilities of FUSF, that after almost 17 years ceased to exist. The signing took place at Notary Boekhoudt’s Office on April 20, 2017.
Presently Sint Maarten has 11 sports facilities. NSI is spearheading not only facility management, but has a strong focus on sports development in Sint Maarten. For that NSI works in close communication with the sports clubs, associations and federations of the 48 known sports in Sint Maarten. NSI has a focus on grass roots sports, school sports and youth in general. Furthermore NSI works in close collaboration with the Department of Sports and with the Sint Maarten Sports and Olympics Federation. NSI has its head quarter at the Raoul Illidge Sports Complex in Cay Hill.
