Fraser-Pryce, the Olympic and World Championships 100m champion, said: “It brings me so much joy to see these young men relating to each other on and off the field, especially when former schoolmates talk about the old days, parents and kids sharing family time as the atmosphere fosters friendship. The response from the players and the community has been great, and I will continue to help them.”
