Kaieteur Sports – The Caribbean Development Archery League (CDAL) is a remote archery competition sanctioned by World Archery Americas, designed specifically for beginner archers from English-speaking Caribbean federations. Its aim is to promote growth and development in the sport, offering foundational competitive experience to new athletes in preparation for future international events like the Caribbean Development Championships (CDC).
The National Federation, Archery Guyana is proud to report its outstanding results at the 2nd Annual CDAL 2025, with 40 local archers participating from various Clubs across Guyana, 10 advancing to the elimination rounds and eight (8) medals earned across several categories and bow disciplines.
This year’s showing follows Guyana’s historic debut at the inaugural CDAL 2024 last year, where Jermaine Kendall secured a silver medal, setting the tone for the country’s upward momentum in regional archery.
President of Archery Guyana, Mrs. Vidushi Persaud-McKinnon, praised the athletes and the Federation’s committed team:
“This competition has proven that Guyana is cultivating world-class potential in our new archers. We commend every participant for their discipline and drive, and we celebrate our medallists for their exceptional performances.”
She also extended heartfelt recognition to Mr. Sanjay Jiandani, President of the Archery Association of St. Vincent & the Grenadines, for his tireless efforts in conceptualising, organising, and driving the CDAL initiative:
“Mr. Jiandani’s dedication has created a vital space for development and camaraderie among our regional archers. His work behind the scenes is deeply appreciated and has made all the difference in delivering a well-executed and meaningful league.”
As a remote competition, the CDAL allows archers to compete from their home countries while adhering to World Archery rules, with performance monitored and judged in real time. The league’s structure enables young archers to grow steadily, developing both confidence and skill ahead of higher-level international tournaments.
Archery Guyana thanks its dedicated coaches, judges, club officials, and supporters.
