WE ARE EXTREMELY PROUD OF OUR YOUNG TALENT AT AYC
Over the past few years AYC have been concentrating on the future. This is reflected in our Youth Training Programme headed up by Senior Instructor & Antiguan Olympian Karl James and his team. The results speak for themselves, and we are very proud of our Antiguan youngsters who have gone on to perform extremely well on the International stage. Please support them as they all have the ability to go onto bigger and better things to make Antigua even more proud of them!
