The calm before the Summer Storm of Sport is very nearly over..

T20 World Cup
The Euros
Copa America
U19 Euros men and women
Olympics
Paralympics

That's a lot of sport, especially football.
Enjoy it all!

Most football seasons have finished. To top it off, the #PremierLeague season is now over!
Having no #football to play, coach or watch will leave a big gap in the lives of so many for months.

But it’ll be back. Let’s help others to get it too..

Mostafa was very pleased with what the charity are trying to do and showed his support through this short video.

Thank you, Mostafa.

The first #AfricaCupofNations had 4 teams involved, reduced to 3 because of apartheid.
#Football and the tournament have really grown in #Africa over the last 67 years and will continue to do so.

The HummingBirds are helping the growth of #sport in #Caribbean.

I bumped into someone and mentioned what the #charity is up to. He said “you’re still at it? I thought you would have given up by now!”
He’s known about us for years, hasn’t supported in any way and is expecting us to just give up.
We won't. We are going to #makethingshappen💪🏾!

We're introducing educational workers to a #school in St. James, #Jamaica for this coming academic year.

We interviewed his Excellency Mr Seth George Ramocan, CD - the Jamaican High Commissioner.

He gave us his take on sports in Jamaica and his full support for what The HummingBirds are trying to achieve.

He said their stories "help light the path of #progress and remind us of a fundamental truth: …every individual...has something #unique to contribute to our #society in a way that strengthens us all."

What a journey, with continuing contributions.
75 eventful years
Thank you!

He said "it feels like this generation don't play out anymore. I was actually glad when they knocked my door and ran off! My door bell saved me the trip and showed me the #children #running and #cycling off. Fine by me!"

(A generation called it 'knock down ginger')

🏏Cricket has already started for some.
The nets are fantastic! These guys will continue under lights, if they have to!

#TheHummingBirds charity want to install nets around the Caribbean, encouraging more people to get involved in cricket.

He said "he moves like a #professional, but his #shots are err...🥴😵‍💫"

#Physical is one thing, #technical is a lot more specific and detailed.
#Coaching makes a very obvious difference in technical and tactical ability.

Help us get more coaching to more #children

What a lovely long weekend that was...we witnessed history 👑!
Opportunities to enjoy such occasions should be grabbed, even if it's just for another story to tell the grandchildren..

They say you never forget how to ride a bike. Some forget how to tie a tie.
Does that mean one is more important than the other?
Is that the power of #sport? (..#cycling is a sport)

What is the Commonwealth?
https://t.co/Gbnf4URv0D says: 'The Commonwealth is a voluntary association of 56 independent and equal countries.'

There are many different explanations of what it is and where it has come from.
