Leagues

The JNA is able maintain the success of all its teams over the years because it places great emphasis on squad maintenance.  More than 2/3 of its funding is spent on squad maintenance. Maintenance entails not only providing coaching and managerial support, but food, transportation medical, counseling services as well as a wide range of social, educational and economical support to all squad members. 

The JNA uses a holistic approach to squad maintenance as we are determined to remain the highest ranked netball team in the Caribbean and among the top five of the world.

The JNA maintains the following squads:

• The Senior (Sunshine Girls) Squad
• The Intermediate Development (Under 21) Squad
• The Junior Development (Under 16) Squad

Our latest effort is to establish a nursey squad for age group 11-14 years. This squad is crucial to our sustainability and development, and although we are having great financial difficulty getting it started, we are determined to do so.  We have already identified 16 potential sunshine girls ranging between ages 10-13 for this programme. We welcome any support that can be given to us to enable this dream to be realized.

All squads are managed by a team of volunteers who form the JNA's Management Committee. The members of this committee are:

• Mrs. Hyacinth Smith (Convenor)
• Mrs. Arlene Findlay (Under 16)
• Mrs. Lysetta Mayne (Under 16)
• Miss. Elsie Shaw (Under 21)
• Mrs. Theda King (Under 21)
• Mrs.Yvonne Keane-Dawes (Sunshine Girls)
• Miss Andrea Anthony (Sunshine Girls)

The squads are also supported by a medical group that provides free physiotherapy as well as general and specialized medical care to squad members. The medical team comprises the following persons:

• Dr. Primanand Singh (General Practitioner)
• Dr. Akshai Mansing (Orthopaedic Surgeon)
• Maureen Spence-Campbell (Physiotherapist)
• Pat Lue Chin (Physiotherapist)
• Kadija Richards (Psychologist)
