In 2023, Trinidad and Tobago made history by becoming the first Caribbean country to host the Commonwealth Youth Games. Ahead of the Games, the National Cycling Velodrome in Trinidad became UCI’s First Americas Satellite Centre for Track Cycling. Over in Tobago, a new Beach Facility at Courland was developed. Both venues were an integral part of the Youth Games, hosting the Track Cycling and Beach volleyball respectively.  One year on, these venues, are among the outstanding legacies resulting from the Trinbago 2023 Games, and they continue to be key in the development of youth athletes and the capacity building of coaches and officials within the Caribbean region.

In May this year, Trinidad and Tobago CGA, PanAm Sport, Federation Internationale de Volleyball (FIVB), Caribbean Zonal Volleyball Association (CAZOVA), North, Central Americas and Caribbean Volleyball Confederation (NORCECA), Trinidad and Tobago Volleyball Federation, Tobago House of Assembly, and  Eco-Industrial Development Company of Tobago Limited (E-IDICOT), hosted the Beach Volleyball U19 Championship Qualification Tournament and a Development Camp at the Courland Beach Facility. This event was a qualifier for the Beach Volleyball World Championship in Shangluo, China, in August 2024. 

The male Beach Volleyball teams from Trinidad and Tobago and Saint Lucia and the female teams from Trinidad and Tobago and the Cayman Islands will represent the Caribbean at the World Championships.  In addition,  a FIVB Level 1 Beach Volleyball Course, led by Mr. Augusto Sabatini, resulted in over 20 regional coaches being certified.

In July 2024, Trinidad and Tobago CGA, PanAm Sport, Olympic Solidarity (OS), Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), Sport Company of Trinidad and Tobago (SporTT), and Trinidad and Tobago Cycling Federation (TTCF) hosted a Track and Road Training Camp and UCI’s Level 2 Coaching and Mechanics Course at the UCI Satellite Centre and National Cycling Velodrome. This marked the first time these entities had hosted four events simultaneously. Athletes and coaches had the opportunity to learn from five UCI experts—Julian Nunez from Colombia, Salome Ernotte from France, Andre De Vasconcelos from Brazil, Scott Laliberte from Canada, and Ioanna Plega Gavrilaki from Greece—as they prepared for the 2025 Youth Pan American Games in Asuncion, Paraguay.

These initiatives reflect Trinidad and Tobago's commitment to fostering sustainable sports development and international collaboration in the Caribbean.
