- A new chapter is beginning for sports in Barbados, with the launch of a locally developed sports data analytics initiative, designed to change the way information is collected, analysed and used across the sporting sector.
The initiative is a partnership between the Ministry of Sport and Community Empowerment and Future Barbados.
Much of the information generated through sport locally has not always been collected, stored or analysed in a consistent manner.
Therefore, this initiative seeks to help close that gap by turning raw data into meaningful insights that can benefit athletes, coaches and sporting organisations.
It was officially launched recently, with the first cohort of participants receiving training that's aimed at developing homegrown expertise in sports data analytics, while equipping national sporting organisations with the tools to make more informed, data-driven decisions.

Speaking during the Ideas Forum in St Andrew, the Prime Minister said government programmes alone cannot address the challenges facing youth, and more adults must volunteer their time to mentor the next generation.
The Prime Minister added that Barbados must re-create that sense of community, where young people benefit from the guidance and support of a wider network of adults.
She says many Barbadians can identify someone who played an important role in shaping their lives. This, she says, is impactful.

- Government is defending its approach to minor offences, saying people, particularly young people, should not have their futures damaged by a conviction for a mistake.
The issue was raised during an Ideas Forum in St Andrew, where concerns were also expressed about crime and the need to give young people a second chance.
Former police officer Johnathan Best spoke passionately about the impact of crime and the number of young people being drawn into the criminal justice system.
The comments prompted a response from Attorney General Wilfred Abrahams, who highlighted that there is now a shift in the treatment of minor offences.
He pointed to social programmes and youth initiatives as part of the effort to divert people away from the criminal justice system.
The Attorney General also exemplified that simple possession of marijuana does not result in the same type of conviction as in the past.

- Barbados does not need more labour laws; what Barbados needs is law enforcement.
This charge came from President General of the Barbados Workers' Union, Shawn Knight, at the recent Annual Delegates Conference.
He told delegates Barbados requires real, consistent enforcement of laws, and enforcement that does not bend when powerful interests push back.
The President General also drew attention to the recently introduced Portable Social Security Benefits Resolution, that was presented in Parliament.
He says social security protection is designed to follow the worker, rather than the job.
Such portability ensures continuous access to benefits such as pensions, health insurance and other social protections providing greater security and flexibility for workers in an evolving labour market.

She explained that breastfeeding reduces healthcare costs by lowering the incidence of illnesses in babies, such as infections and chronic conditions, which in turn decreases the financial burden on families and healthcare systems.

- The benefits are there to be had, as Government moves to join forces in pairing road tennis and pickleball.
That's according to Sports Minister Charles Griffith, following over two hours of talks and a presentation by a delegation from the Ultimate Pickleball League at the Minister's Office at Sky Mall, Haggatt Hall.
Pickleball is a fast-growing paddle sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton and table tennis, played with a smooth paddle and a perforated plastic ball over a low net.
Minister Griffith says the partnership has sports tourism benefits.
Chief Executive Officer of the U.P.L., Charles Farr, agrees uniting both sports will be mutually beneficial.
Farr also painted a picture of how pickleball can be expanded on the island.
