Mya Ray­mond is tak­ing her Caribbean bas­ket­ball suc­cess glob­al, head­ing to Cana­da on a schol­ar­ship to ad­vance her promis­ing ca­reer.

​A stu­dent at Cara­pichaima West Sec­ondary School, Ray­mond has honed her skills over the past eight years with the Club En­ter­prise Bas­ket­ball team, coached by Er­ic Knights. Her ded­i­ca­tion has re­sult­ed in mul­ti­ple “Most Valu­able Play­er” (MVP) ti­tles, gold medals, and na­tion­al ac­claim.

The 17-year-old has dom­i­nat­ed lo­cal tour­na­ments, con­sis­tent­ly lead­ing her teams to vic­to­ry, in­clud­ing cham­pi­onships at the Mi­lo tour­na­ment, Fe­male Bas­ket­ball As­so­ci­a­tion (Fem.BA) “The Re­turn” (2023), and the South Youth Tour­na­ment (2024) in the Girls Un­der-17 di­vi­sion.

Ray­mond’s tal­ent has al­ready tak­en her be­yond T&T’s bor­ders, as she rep­re­sent­ed the na­tion at the Cen­tro-bas­ket U-16 Cham­pi­onship in Nicaragua (2022), the At­lanta Am­a­teur Ath­let­ic Union (AAU) tour­na­ment (2023), and the Fe­male Fi­es­ta Bas­ket­ball League.

Her next ma­jor step is at­tend­ing Cam­bridge In­ter­na­tion­al Acad­e­my in On­tario, Cana­da, on a bas­ket­ball schol­ar­ship. This op­por­tu­ni­ty is a di­rect re­sult of her hard work, on-court lead­er­ship, and proof that her tal­ent is open­ing glob­al doors.

Ray­mond serves as an in­spir­ing role mod­el for young ath­letes in Trinidad and To­ba­go, demon­strat­ing the pow­er of grass­roots sports de­vel­op­ment and af­firm­ing that Caribbean tal­ent be­longs on the in­ter­na­tion­al stage.
