NBA TRAINING SEMINAR IN GRAND BAHAMA: Xcel Management Group International and the NBA Professional Referee Development Team of the United States made a courtesy call on the Minister for Grand Bahama, the Hon. Dr. Michael Darville on Thursday at the Ministry.

The Minister expressed pleasure in having the group on the island and that sports tourism has become a niche market in The Bahamas. Bahamians in sports, he said, should be certified and able to perform according to international standards. The two-day seminar will be held Friday and Saturday at Pelican Bay.
