MINISTER of Sports, the Hon Olivia 'Babsy' Grange, officially declared the third staging of the three-week Institute of Sports (INSPORTS) Summer Sports Camp open at the National Arena yesterday.

The three-week Summer Camp had actually started on Monday with some 470 campers (boys and girls) between the ages of six and 17 years-old.

Grange told the campers to have fun and learn to be disciplined and learn all the sports disciplines that they are being taught by the coaches.

She told the youngsters that they are presently learning the basics about the various sporting disciplines and when they leave the Summer Camp they all would have learnt a lot when they go back into their various communities.

She further told the campers that the INSPORTS Summer Camp is not only to have fun, but also about life and to become better people.

Meanwhile, Rev Al Miller, chairman of INSPORTS, brought greetings and told the campers to do their best and also to help each other as they all have the potential.

"You must all think right and make the best of what you are being taught, but most of all you must think positive," Miller said.

Meanwhile, the campers will be taught the basics of eight sporting disciplines, football, track and field, netball, volleyball, basketball, cricket and the two added sports, baseball and bocce.

The campers are divided into seven houses that are named after popular sportsmen and women, Track and Field (Usian Bolt), Cricket (Christopher Gayle), Netball (Romelda Aiken), Football (Ricardo Gardner), Basketball (Michael Jordan), Athletics (Beverley McDonald) and Baseball (Andre Dixon).
