Trinidad and Tobago (TT) will be well-represented at the 2025 Carifta Aquatics Water Polo Championships, with five age group teams set to compete in the prestigious event. Scheduled to take place from November 7 to 9 at the Coral Springs Aquatic Complex in Florida, the tournament is being hosted by the Aquatic Sports Association of TT (ASATT) under a five-year agreement signed by Caribbean federations. Despite the event’s location in Florida, ASATT has taken on the majority of the organizational and financial responsibilities, estimated at approximately TT $350,000. ASATT President Shawn Pouchet expressed concerns about the financial burden, suggesting that future tournaments should involve shared costs among Caribbean nations to ensure sustainability. The competition will feature teams from Bahamas, Bonaire, Cayman Islands, and Curacao, alongside specially invited club teams from Canada, Dominican Republic, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and the US. TT’s contingent includes an Under-14 coed team, as well as male and female teams in the Under-16 and Under-19 divisions. Notable captains include Giovanni Felician-Moses (Under-14), Alexis Avey (Under-16 girls), Liam Chin Lee (Under-16 boys), Mekelle Cedeno (Under-19 girls), and Jeremiah Henriques-Brown (Under-19 boys). Head coach Andrew Francis and delegation head Ryan Smith will lead the teams, which were selected in late September after rigorous screening. Pouchet remains optimistic about the teams’ preparation, emphasizing that the high level of competition will benefit TT’s players and contribute to their growth. The TT teams will depart for Florida on November 6 and return on November 10.
