WIPA’s Player Development Programme (PDP) supports players in actively working toward personal development.
The programme assists our members to manage the competing demands of life on and off the pitch.
That is, we assist our members in maximising their cricketing career, whilst also fulfilling other important commitments, including personal health and well-being, family life, education, and preparing for life after cricket.
WIPA in the Community (WIC) is WIPA’s cricket development programme.
WIPA in the Community Trinidad caters to children, teaching the basic understanding and sportsmanship of the game of cricket.
WIPA in the Community was extended to Jamaica in January 2019, and lends technical support to, while monitoring, the U-14, U-16 and U-19 secondary-school cricket programmes.
The WIPA Awards was established because the West Indies Players’ Association thought it fit to celebrate the outstanding contribution of the association’s members.
As such, in 2004, WIPA sought to recognize and reward those players who distinguished themselves by their performance, and who lifted their games beyond their years – and their peers.
WIPA continued to host this ceremony for another eight years.
Later, WIPA partnered with Cricket West Indies (CWI) to host an annual CWI/WIPA Players’ Awards.
The West Indies Retired Players’ Foundation (WIRPF) is a joint initiative of Cricket West Indies (CWI) and the West Indies Players’ Association (WIPA), and was formed in July 2013.
