Trinidad and Tobago's under-16 netball team are ready to pull out all the stops in defence of their Jean Pierre Caribbean Youth Netball Tournament title when the 2026 edition of the competition jumps off from April 11-17 at UWI Spec in St Augustine.
Last April, the team coached by Sojourner Hyles-Lewis and assistant Simone Morgan secured the title for the first time when they went unbeaten in the tourney, which was held in Barbados. TT's Shian Lewis, who's also a national middle-distance runner at the junior level, copped the MVP award, with teammate Makayla Grant earning the most accurate shooter honour.

The 22nd edition of the Jean Pierre Caribbean Youth Netball Tournament is expected to be a bumper one, with the hosts, TT, welcoming Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Cayman Islands, Dominica, Grenada, St Kitts and Nevis, and St Lucia for a week of nonstop action.
A Netball TT release said, "Fans can expect a week of exciting and competitive netball as teams battle for regional supremacy while showcasing the next generation of Caribbean netball talent."
