Sporte Avis is on the brink of revolutionizing the sporting landscape and culture in Saint Lucia and the Eastern Caribbean. There exists no medium in the islands dedicated to full-fledged sports coverage, community sports developments, school sporting activities, rising stars in various sporting disciplines and monitoring the progression our budding talent to internationally acclaimed sporting giants. Sporte Avis will resolve what has been for generations a sore point in our history, by recognizing outstanding Eastern Caribbean sportsmen and sports women, immortalizing them in written text and visual material via its various platforms. Most importantly the Sporte Avis endeavors to inculcate a culture that celebrates sports as a culture and lifestyle and as an essential part of everyday life and not occasional periods of the year.
The main objectives of Sporte Avis are as follows:
1. To increase exposure for young sporting talent both home and abroad. Sporte Avis recognizes that our athletes don’t receive the exposure that they deserve, and will therefore devise methods to help promote them.
2. To provide greater motivation to aspiring athletes in the Eastern Caribbean. We hope to broaden their minds on the numerous opportunities for self-development which exists, both home and abroad. This is especially true of our ‘Athletes Abroad’ feature.
3. To help develop other sports enthusiasts into becoming all rounded citizens who can contribute meaningfully in any field. We hope to nurture sports writers in developing their journalistic prowess, and provide a platform for photographers, graphic designers, commentators and administrators to showcase their ability.
4. To galvanize national support for sports, by helping to create a buzz in every corner of Eastern Caribbean, for every sporting event. Sporte Avis has recognized the importance of support in the development of sports, and as such, we hope to help create excitement among citizens, which will ultimately help propel our athletes to heights never before realized.
5. To keep audience updated on all sporting activity across the OECS region.
6. To promote sports as a key development tool across the member states. Opportunities do exist for persons to use sport as a career and to contribute to the economic development of their countries. It is the aim of Sporte Avis to ensure that this is realized.
7. To strengthen the integration movement by creating networks across the OECS member states with individuals who have the same goal as Sporte Avis.
8. To help instill a culture of not just nationalism, but one of regionalism. Through sports, we hope to create a culture where people recognize and support athletes from the various member states as their own.
