Collin Johnson, farmer:

"It is important because young people need meet and socialise and learn how to agree to disagree, and from there conflict resolution skills can be built."

Adrian Parkinson, tour operator:

"Very important. It helps to develop young minds and to keep them away from trouble and show them how to relate to their peers."

Angela Haye, educator:

"It is a tool that helps to build team work and understanding. It should be used by the politicians as a means of community development."

Lynford McIntosh, musician:

"I don't like sports but I think it is helps to keep young people active. They seem more friendlier when they are on the field playing football for example. I don't think it plays a big role in development though."
