St. Kitts and Nevis Football Association Launches Club Development Workshops
The St. Kitts and Nevis Football Association (SKNFA) has launched a series of club development workshops aimed at enhancing the performance and operations of its member clubs. The inaugural session took place on February 15, 2023, at Football House, with a focus on club licensing and the SKNFA member assistance grant.
Club Licensing and Member Assistance Program
According to Jamir Claxton, Deputy General Secretary of the SKNFA, the workshops will cover various aspects of club development, including club licensing and the member assistance program. "We’re going to be doing a number of workshops for clubs as part of the club development initiative. This one today, we are focusing on the club licensing program and also the member’s assistance program. So we are going through the club licensing and trying to help the clubs to become better at doing what is necessary to make sure they pass club licensing, because it is a requirement for the SKNFA," he said. "Also, if they’re going to participate in regional or international competition, they must meet club licensing regulations."
Member Assistance Grants
The member assistance grants are part of an annual process that allows each SKNFA member club to access funding once they meet the necessary requirements. Claxton highlighted that clubs have been making significant progress in the club licensing process, an essential component required by Concacaf. "As far as the member assistance program goes, it is a grant that is provided by the St. Kitts and Nevis Football Association to its members, and there are rules and regulations and guidelines that govern how the grant is first disseminated and how it should be used. So we are carefully going through the process so the clubs have a full and transparent understanding of how it should be done. The member assistance grants, Mr. Claxton explained, are part of an annual process that allows each SKNFA member club to access funding once they meet the necessary requirements," he said.
Workshop Participation and Future Plans
All SKNFA members participated in the Saturday’s workshop. Looking ahead, Claxton revealed that throughout the year, the SKNFA will continue hosting additional workshops, all aimed at further improving the performance and operations of its member clubs. This workshop forms part of the SKNFA’s ongoing commitment to enhancing its member clubs, fostering a more professional and efficient football environment in St. Kitts and Nevis.
