CAY BAY--The Windward Islands Soccer Academy Foundation is preparing to resume training.
In a statement released on Facebook the foundation stated: “Devastation by a hurricane cannot and shall not put WISA off track. Our mindset and commitment towards developing our National Youth Soccer teams as well as our Social Programme aimed at increasing participation and talent recognition must continue. We owe that to our youths, our communities and ourselves.”
The statement continued, “Although almost all is lost, our fighting spirit remains strong, WISA remains alive and we are more than ever committed to continue with our Youth Soccer Development Programme.”
Reached by phone, Sandro Garcia, head coach of the foundation added, “as soon as Maria passes we will assess the damage and organize clean up teams.”
He added: “We will probably start on the basketball court at Raoul Illidge Sports Complex as the soccer pitch is being used by helicopters.”
Currently the foundation is seeking support in the form of donations, expertise and or material. WISA can be reached through Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/WISASXM.
