2017-18 Basketball Champions, PRIDEKINGS, Selected For SPBS Distinguished Leadership in Sports Award

By: SPBS, Press Release

    SPBS, August 8th, 2018 -- At a time when we are looking for young Kittitians and Nevisians to be role models, it’s no wonder SPBS chose this group of guys who challenged their energies and plays to win on the basketball court and also in service to their beloved community of Sandy Point. PRIDEKINGS are the current SKNABA champions – a great feat for a team and organization that has been around for less than 5 years. 

     

    Sandy Point PRIDE Sports Ltd is a Kittitian amateur sports organization based in the town of Sandy Point and currently manages the PRIDEKINGS that competes in the St. Kitts-Nevis Amateur Basketball Association (SKNABA) as the reigning Premier League Champions. 

    PRIDE, led by a quinary of Directors since its inception in 2015 has enjoyed remarkable success both on and off the court. Using sports entertainment as a conduit for positive social change, the organization has directly impacted the lives of a significant amount of young men and women to have passed through its ranks thus far. In addition to have competed in the finals every year, the club also enjoyed an undefeated A-division run in 2015-16 en route to registering a record setting 19-0 SKNABA season. The organization continues to pride itself on being the standard for sports excellence and organizational discipline throughout the federation, principles which helped to foster it’s rise to the top in 2017 when it became the first team officially donning the name ‘Sandy Point’ to win the SKNABA Premier League title, with seven (7) players from its current roster being regular selections to the St. Kitts-Nevis National team. 

    With the support of its sponsors and community partners, PRIDE has established meaningful relationships with both schools in the Sandy Point area and with a number of projects set to come on stream over the next 12 months including an inter house basketball tournament at the Charles E Mills Secondary School (CEMSS), sole management of MUSTRI (the first and only rural based triathlon in St. Kitts) along with the highly anticipated ‘BallsOverBullets’ community league which focuses on the effects and eradication of gun violence within the community. Its outreach program is expected to expand exponentially in years to come. 

    There are plenty of opportunities for individuals and organizations to partner with PRIDE in its quest to positively impact the young people of the federation.
