Trinidad and Tobago Olympic Committee(TTOC) president Larry Romany is elated that the Trinidad and Tobago's participation in the netball competition at the Commonwealth Games in India is confirmed. Netball's world governing body IFNA, and the Commonwealth Games Federation confirmed that T&T, Jamaica and Barbados had accepted invitations for the Games scheduled for October 3-14.
Romany said with six months to go the T&T netballers must buckle down and seriously focus on getting properly prepared.He noted that with Australia and Jamaica in the same group T&T will have to be at their very best to stay in medal contention." This is a huge opportunity and I urge the netball training squad to take personal,individual and collective responsibility for their fitness and skill enhancement and development. Focus like they never focused before on the task ahead. Like all of the other local based athletes they will be required to meet the TTOC fitness criteria.Cycling,swimming and track and field (timed sports) are the only disciplines not subject to the beep test."
