As we reach the close of 2025, the Jamaica Athletics Administrative Association (JAAA) is proud to share a special holiday message with our national and international sporting community. This season serves as a powerful reminder of the unity and strength that define our island.

Honouring Our Sporting Family

The JAAA extends warm Christmas greetings to the entire athletics fraternity, to all sporting bodies across Jamaica, and especially to the ever-resilient people of Jamaica. This year has been a testament to what we can achieve when we stand together as one “sporting family.”

Reflecting on a Year of Courage

While 2025 brought its share of challenges, it also showcased the true character of our nation.

“This season finds us reflecting with gratitude on the strength of our communities, the unity of our sporting family, and the indomitable spirit that continues to define our nation. Despite the challenges we have faced this year (2025), Jamaicans have once again demonstrated courage, compassion, and an unwavering ability to rise.”

Looking Forward to 2026

Christmas is a season of joy and hope. As we celebrate in our homes, our thoughts are with those who are rebuilding, and our hearts are filled with a renewed sense of purpose.

As we prepare for the year ahead, we carry the mantra that has guided us through the past twelve months: Together, we rise again, stronger, united, and proud.

Season’s Greetings from the Executive

On behalf of the Executive and members of the JAAA, we wish you a peaceful Christmas and a prosperous and healthy New Year (2026).

Warmest Christmas wishes,
Garth Gayle CD; JP President, JAAA
