Technical Director (TD) of the Guyana Amateur Basketball Federation (GABF), Junior Hercules, in an invited comment with Kaieteur Sport has shared that training will begin next weekend for the National under-18 3×3 boys’ team that will represent Guyana at the regional tournament in Guadeloupe next month.
The team of Kobe Tappin, Immanuel LaRose, Shemroy Green and Delroy Belle will make the trek from the ‘mining town’ of Linden for sessions at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall (CASH) on Homestretch Avenue.
Hercules shared that the focus of the training will be mainly on conditioning, rules of the game and strategy. The TD highlighted those three aspects as most important because of the fast paced nature of the five-day tournament scheduled for February 27 to March 2nd.
The 3×3 basketball rules sees the team that will represent a country winning a qualifying tournament rather than being selected and last year November, Victory Valley Royals came out victorious in the GABF one-day qualifying event that saw 16 teams being drafted into four groups with the winner of each group advancing to the semifinals.
Victory Valley Royals then defeated Blazers in the final 15-10.
Kobe Tappin, Captain of the Royals, led from the front with a starring role for his side from the beginning of the tournament winning the three-point shootout contest as well.
In 2017, Guyana secured a silver medal Lesser Antilles 3X3 Championships; their best championship finish to date, going down agonizingly to Martinique 9-8 in the final that was played in St Lucia.
THIS IDIOT TELLING GUYANA WE HAVE NO SAY IN THE 50% PROFIT SHARING AGREEMENT WE HAVE WITH EXXON.
