Nassau, Bahamas \u2013 Basketball is one of many great ways to play your way to success, and the Water and Sewerage Corporation (WSC) is leading the way by jump-starting Nassau\u2019s newest women\u2019s basketball league.\u00a0 The league is being spearheaded by one of WSC\u2019s very own and is a great way to showcase more of the country\u2019s female basketball talent.<\/p>\n
WSC\u2019s Employee Relations Manager, Mynez Cargill- Sherman, who reached out to the Corporation and its partners Miya Bahamas and Consolidated Water for sponsorship, is spearheading the newly-formed women\u2019s junior basketball league.\u00a0 WSC\u2019s sponsorship will be helping the league to get started and encourage and support young women as they show off their basketball skills.<\/p>\n
The league officially launched in early February at the D.W. Davis Gymnasium where former Deputy Prime Minister, Cynthia ‘Mother’ Pratt gave the opening address.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe continued to see young women who may have a GPA of 2.50 to 3.3, but that GPA would not qualify them for an academic scholarship.\u201d Mynez Cargill-Sherman explained, \u201cHowever, if they have the ability to play basketball, it can create an avenue for obtaining higher learning via a basketball scholarship.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cargill-Sherman felt that the introduction of a junior basketball division for young ladies aged 11-18 was ideal as there is currently a call for more student-athletes.\u00a0 WSC General Manager, Glen Laville, agreed, hence WSC\u2019s decision to be the main sponsor for the league.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Corporation is pleased to support this newly formed young women’s basketball league,\u201d said Visna Armbrister, WSC Public Affairs Manager.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn doing so, the Corporation hopes that it would encourage young women to continue to engage in positive activities and make the best of their God-given talents recognizing that the \u2018sky is the limit\u2019 and that they should continue to stay focused and work hard to achieve their life’s goals.\u201d<\/p>\n
All games will be played at the D.W. Davis Gymnasium on Saturday evenings from 5pm \u2013 8pm, and this season will run until May 2016.<\/p>\n
