Young and aspiring Basketball players in the New Amsterdam/ Canje area had a chance to learn the game and improve their skills over the holiday period when they were involved in a one week Coaching Clinic (Aug. 24 – 28) organised by Basketball coach Kirk Fraser.
The sessions which attracted male and female participants between the ages of 8 – 17, were held from 09:00hrs to 12:00hrs at the Vryman’s Erven Basketball Court.
Fraser was assisted by a number of other persons including some senior players in Berbice. He Fraser stated that the purpose of the clinic was to rekindle the interest of the game in the Berbice area which has been on the decline especially among the youngsters.
Another reason he stated was to help keep the youngsters off the streets and gainfully occupied during the holiday period. Keeping them occupied “will help to instill disciple into the youngsters, and learn them about team work at an early age” he stated.
During the sessions, participants numbering about 20; were thought the basics of the game which included passing, shooting, dribbling and intercepting among other moves. Discipline was one of the key areas of the camp which also focused on physical preparedness and the importance of teamwork.
Sessions were also dedicated to other topics including school dropouts, teenage pregnancy, HIV/AIDS, drug abuse and delinquency. Efforts are being made to continue the sessions during the afternoon hours and on Saturday morning’s beginning at 09:00hrs.
