“The children take part in chess and other board games, physical activities such as table tennis, football which are all currently being played indoors because of the inclement weather, once the weather improves we will utilize the ground for athletics and circle tennis,” he added.
Three coaches Candacy McKenzie, Dennis “Chow” Hunte and Xenophone Goliah are coordinating the various activities.
