From December 17 to 21, Phillip will conduct his sessions at the Arnos Vale Playing Field and Grammar School Playing Field, where the javelin event will be added to his agenda.

This period is assigned for advanced training for athletes and coaches who have been identified from the three previous days’ instruction.

According to a release from Team Athletics SVG, Phillip is eager to follow up on talents he sighted on his last visit.

“He was personally impressed with a number of the young athletes that he was able to observe at his sessions…. Based on his recommendations TASVG saw it necessary to have him conduct further training to those athletes he had identified,” TASVG’s release stated.

“TASVG is asking coaches and athletes to take note of the venues Coach Phillips will be visiting and is extending an open invitation to all interested coaches and athletes to participate in the sessions,” the release added.

Phillips first undertook a similar exercise in St Vincent and the Grenadines in February 2014.(RT)
