Kaieteur News – The Georgetown Cricket Association (GCA) Nex-Gen Primary School’s Coaching Primary programme sponsored by Guyana Beverages Inc located on the East Bank of Demerara continued last Friday in the City with five Schools being provided with Coaching sessions.
The GCA is the only Association in Demerara that is presently conducting Coaching sessions in Schools, while Berbice is the only other place that focuses on Schools Coaching through the BCB.
There were sessions at the Ketley Primary coached by former Guyana female player Akaze Thompson.
Rama Krishna Primary coached by Kervin Ross, St Anne’s Agricola Primary by Pernell Christie, Redeemer Primary by Dorian Best and South Ruimveldt Primary was coached by Kenroy Joseph.
The eight-week programme, which was launched on September 14 and ends on the third week on November and involves eight schools with 400 students; half of them being Girls and other half being Boys.
At the completion of the programme, 14 of the best students of each school (7 boys & 7girls) will be taken on a tour of Queen College before going onto the QC ground for a competition.
GCA President Neil Barry said that he was by the enthusiasm shown and the excitement generated for the students.
“We (GCA) feel that at the Primary School level is the best time get children involved in cricket and hopefully when they get to Secondary School some of them would have developed the basics and that into club cricket,” Barry who has nine First-Class matches.
“It’s a long term development program and half of the 400 students we are targeting are females since female cricket is important we are trying to attract more of them to game,” added the 56-year-old Barry.
The Transport Sports Clubs, led by Shawn Massiah and Kevin Ross, has a female programme which has about 15 females involved.
