PROVIDENCIALES, Turks & Caicos Islands: – Beaches Turks & Caicos proudly participated in the inaugural “Let’s Move TCI” Adult Sports League, a dynamic initiative by the TCI Sports Commission in collaboration with the Ministry of Education, Youth, Sports and Social Services. The league, designed for adults aged 30 and over, saw spirited competition in basketball, softball and netball and offered professionals across the Turks and Caicos Islands a platform to build camaraderie and embrace friendly competition.

The resort’s philosophy that collaboration extends beyond the workplace is at the heart of its participation. “So little can be achieved alone but when we join forces, the doors of opportunity become endless,” shared Owenta Coleby, human resources manager at Beaches Turks & Caicos. “Teamwork boosts morale and promotes unity not only at work but in every aspect of life.”

Throughout the league, team members demonstrated exemplary determination and sportsmanship. From the side lines to the court, Beaches Turks & Caicos showed up in full force, cheering each other on and encouraging a strong sense of support and pride. The teams ultimately earned second place in netball and third place in softball – a commendable achievement for many who were playing competitively for the first time.

The competition became a learning experience for all involved. First-time players embraced the challenges, learnt from more seasoned teammates and gained insight into the strategies and skills required in semi-contact sports. Rather than shying away from difficulty, Beaches team members chose growth and collective improvement.

Romaine Adams, president of the Beaches Sports and Social Club, reflected on the experience.

“Whether winning or not, team members demonstrated a desire to play together, learn together and grow together. Events like this bring people closer, allow ideas to flow freely and strengthens our team both on and off the field.”

Managing Director James McAnally also praised the initiative’s impact.

“This league offered a unique opportunity for our team members and leaders to collaborate in an inclusive, active environment. These partnerships outside the workplace translate into stronger, more connected teams that deliver exceptional service to our guests.”

Ultimately, the “Let’s Move TCI” league served as more than a sporting event. It provided a space for fellowship, growth and empowerment – key ingredients in creating a workplace culture where team members continue to feel valued and inspired.
