The University of the West Indies Mona Sports Department on Thursday, April 19, 2012 hosted an official press launch and opening ceremony for the UWI Volleyball/Football Court dubbed "UWI Sands."
The facility which is the second of its kind in the entire island includes a 100ft*130ft sand court, two outdoor shower areas, three spectator stands and a large parking lot. The 'UWI Sands' will be the training ground for many national players and UWI Teams alike.
Despite the inclement weather the opening ceremony was one of pure splendor. Specially invited guests and distinguished members of the University community were on hand to witness this momentous occasion.
Special appreciation must be extended to our Sponsors who came on broad to make this dream a reality, as we strive to make the UWI Mona Bowl the center of sporting excellence.
