Amazing Amara!

Amara has been in participating in badminton since the age of 6 and has represented Trinidad and Tobago in several PANAM and Caribbean  tournaments hosted in many countries form Canada, Aruba, Suriname, Jamaica, Barbados and Peru to name a few and  with huge success.


This year, 2023, she was elected to participate in a workshop in July in Peru.


On return she represented Trinidad and Tobago in the Annual CAREBACO badminton tournament where she grabbed the gold in her individual game for under 17, a feat that has not been done in the girls category for that age group in a long while (in fact they are having difficulty to confirm if it ever did.). She also procured a gold and silver in her doubles and mixed categories respectively.


Amara is currently ranked number 1 in her age group and no. 2 in the women's seniors in Trinidad and Tobago. As such she has been remanded to take part in a play off by the National Olympic Committee  of T and T to represent the nation in the PANAM games in Chile.


She was asked to represent the country in Washington next month in the World Juniors Championship, Suriname Opens and Canada Opens all later this year. Having achieved these, she will then hold an international world rank in the senior category.
