World-Class Players Deserve World-Class Courts
Jamaica's Sunshine Girls are ranked in the top 5 in the world. But the community courts where our future national players learn the game are crumbling — cracked asphalt, bent hoops, no line markings, zero lighting. The Sunshine Girls Foundation is raising funds to transform 10 courts across Kingston, Spanish Town, May Pen, and Montego Bay.
The Upgrade
Each court will receive a new acrylic sport surface, regulation goal posts, proper line markings, LED floodlights for evening training, and courtside benches. Three courts will also get covered spectator areas to encourage community support at local league matches.
More Than Courts
At each upgraded court, we will run a 6-week Sunshine Skills camp led by current and former national team players. Girls aged 10–18 will receive free coaching, a training kit, and mentorship from women who have represented Jamaica on the world stage.
Netball is the most popular women's sport in Jamaica. These courts are where champions are born.
<p>Outdoor court construction depends on weather. We have scheduled builds during the drier months (January–March) and have contingency for up to 3 weeks of weather delays per site. Material costs are locked in with our supplier through a bulk-purchase agreement.</p>
The Sunshine Skills camp idea is what sets this apart. Having national team players mentor young girls is priceless. My two daughters signed up already!
Sunshine Girls FOREVER! I played netball at that Spanish Town court growing up — it was rough even then. So happy to see it getting upgraded. Donated and shared!
