  • Kingston College 2010-11 Basketball Report
    Kingston College 2010‐11 Basketball Report By Dennis Thompson Overview The 2010/11 season started out shakily, as the incumbent head coach, Andrew Jackson migrated to the United States. Subsequently, Marland Nattie was asked to oversee the programme, however, it was very difficult to find someone to commit full time to the programme and as such a group of coaches were approached to supervise the overall school programme. The first persons invited were Lauriel Meikle, Richard Lindsey in addition to Marland Nattie. Later in the season two more persons were invited to assist with the programme and a committee was created in. January 2011 and includes the following persons; Richard Lindsey, Lauriel Meikle, Capt. Clifton Lumsden, Winston Harvey, Dennis Thompson and Marland Nattie. Pre‐season The preparatory fundamentals and conditioning work scheduled for the period 2010 June – August was set aside due to the low turnout of players as the average attendance was five persons during the period. When school reopened in 2010 September attendance improved somewhat but it was not at the level anticipated , of the twenty five (25) players slated to return to make up the combined under 16 and 19 squads, only about 15 players attended training with any consistency. Weight Training The Team’s weight training programme was severely hampered by inadequate access to the weights, as in most instances the weights training area was overcrowded. Only basketballers who were part of the school’s Track & Field Athletics squad were able to utilize this facility. Equipment The squad was given 20 new balls for the season.

Jamaica’s social and philosophical music belong mainly to that tradition, which includes the use of rhythms, timbral, and melodic resources that exist independently of harmony. Already in this century, Jamaicans have created two totally new music - nyabinghi, which performs a philosophical function and reggae, which performs a social function.
