Tough weekend for the Caribbean region. Jamaica, T&T, Bermuda, Haiti and DR all knocked out. Puerto Rico got into the QF stage.

The difference is that track and field is primarily an individual sport…football and cricket require a bit more technical nous to be applied over a longer period of time

Are we in position to send national (or club) U-17 teams to Mexico or US or elsewhere for tournaments that can elevate the game at that level?

Clubs have an incentive to develop talent, because they receive a fee when that player is transferred, do high schools have that same incentive?
