The Dominica Athletics Association (DAA) is proud to announce the launch of the 2025 DAA Kids’ Athletics Primary Schools Tour, scheduled to take place from Monday, 19th May to Friday, 30th May 2025. This island-wide initiative aims to further strengthen grassroots development in athletics through direct engagement with primary school students.
Kids’ Athletics is recognized globally as one of the most impactful youth development programmes in sports.
