The Men’s and Women’s Football Leagues of the Turks and Caicos Islands Football Association hosted their annual awards presentations, celebrating and commemorating players’ outstanding achievements of the 2010-11 season. The Net Rockers FC took first place in the Women’s League, while Provopool FC won the Men’s Football League. In the last few years, football has emerged to become the hottest and most played sport in the country. This, along with the success of TCIFA’s recent recruitment drive, has seen its academy numbers swell in size, ensuring that many schools and new players to the sport are now competing for the first time. Whole Gospel, Wesley Methodist, Provo Christian School and Shining Stars all made their competitive debuts with impressive performances. The TCIFA had made a concerted effort to develop the sport at all schools, especially those that have never had football programmes or teams before. Building on each season’s success, the association has created new leagues and programs, initiatives designed to encourage newer and younger players to the sport, while keeping those existing, firmly rooted. This has proved a recipe for success. The presentation ceremony took place recently at the Miniature Golf Course on Leeward Highway on Providenciales where league players collected their certificates, medals and trophies. The event was sponsored by Miniature Golf Club, NW Hamilton, Vino Tiempo, Faces and Fingers, CaicosMart Ltd. and After 5 Island Concierge. It included a raffle with prizes donated by CaicosMart Ltd. and Paula Garland, a member of TCIFA’s Executive Committee. TCIFA is a non-for-profit organisation in the business of football development throughout the TCI and is a member of FIFA. Women’s Football League 1st place: Net Rockers FC
