Sports in Saint Lucia

Sports in Saint Lucia

Football is the most dominant sport in Saint Lucia. The Saint Lucia national football team is controlled by the St. Lucia Football Association. Cricket is also a major sport. Darren Sammy was the first and only St Lucian to be called up to the West Indies Cricket Squad. Sammy was the first St Lucian to play Test cricket in the West Indies and his figures were the second best by a West Indian debutante after Alf Valentine took eight wickets in 1950. Tennis and basketball are rapidly becoming popular around the island. St. Lucia is also an annual competitor in the Davis Cup, an international tennis competition, with its head player Kane Easter.

St Lucia is also home to Levern Spencer, who is a high jumper and holds the St Lucian record of 1.94 meters.
