A standout youth cricket development event brought professional cricket talent together with eager young participants recently, as members of the Antigua and Barbuda Falcons shared their expertise with young campers at Exceptional Heights Summer Camp on the grounds of the iconic Sir Vivian Richards Stadium. This hands-on engagement was not an isolated event, but a core component of Flow’s “We Live For This” Summer Campaign, borne out of a strategic partnership between the leading regional communications provider and the Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League (RBL CPL), the Caribbean’s premier T20 cricket competition. The initiative is designed to bridge the gap between emerging young cricket fans and the elite athletes that inspire their passion for the sport.
Leading the interactive training session were Falcons head coach Paul Nixon, alongside first-team players Karima Gore, Anderson Mahase, Jahmar Hamilton and Alzarri Joseph. Together, they walked campers through a full slate of practical cricket activities, covering targeted drills for batting, bowling, and fielding that are used at the professional level. Beyond just demonstrating technique, the Falcons squad offered personalized practical advice to each participant, offered consistent encouragement to the young players, and created an approachable environment that let campers ask questions and build confidence in their skills.
Tiffany Joseph, head of Exceptional Heights Summer Camp, emphasized that the impact of the day extended far beyond the boundary of the cricket pitch. The camp itself has a core mission focused on supporting child development through structured activities that build teamwork, foster personal growth, and encourage consistent healthy lifestyles. For camp participants, the rare opportunity to work directly with professional players and a top-tier coach from one of the Caribbean’s leading T20 franchises created an unforgettable experience that cannot be replicated in regular youth training sessions.
For Flow, which operates as a consumer brand under parent company Liberty Caribbean, the event aligns with long-standing commitments to connecting Caribbean communities with the cultural and sporting experiences they value most. Liberty Caribbean is the region’s leading communications and technology provider, serving residential customers across more than 20 Caribbean markets with broadband, mobile, video, and voice services under the Flow and BTC brands, while its Liberty Business division delivers enterprise-grade connectivity, cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity, and data center solutions to private businesses and government entities across the region. With a 150-year legacy anchored in the Caribbean, the organization prioritizes building robust local networks and community-focused initiatives that meet the unique needs of regional populations.
The RBL CPL, founded in 2013, has grown from a regional startup to one of the most-watched T20 cricket leagues on the global stage. The franchise-based tournament blends high-stakes competitive cricket with the iconic, vibrant Carnival atmosphere that defines Caribbean culture, drawing a global broadcast and digital viewership of 1.17 billion in 2025. Current defending champions Trinbago Knight Riders lead a seven-team field that includes Antigua & Barbuda Falcons, Barbados Royals, Guyana Amazon Warriors, Jamaica Kingsmen, St Kitts & Nevis Patriots, and Saint Lucia Kings. The 2026 iteration of the tournament is scheduled to run from August 7 to September 20, 2026.
