Sponsored Athletes

The intent of this status system is to develop deserving athletes and help them get the National and International experience necessary to eventually represent the USVI at the Olympic Games. Our funding is extremely limited and must be used where it has been earned. VISA is in no way discouraging athletes from attending events on their own.
