Known for producing quality West Indies players, the main objective of this five-day academy is exposing young cricketers to the basic fundamentals of the game.
During its awards ceremony held last Sunday, the Berbice Cricket Board had declared that it would greatly assist cricket clubs to fund coaches that would spearhead these cricket academies.
Persons desirous of attending this academy would have to complete an online application or visit the club prior to commencement of the academy.
Albion’s latest spin prodigy, Kelvin Umroa, is the latest West Indies player produced by this club. Umroa has been selected for inclusion in the West Indies Under-19 team along with three other Guyanese.
Veerasamy Permaul and Devandra Bishoo are proud West Indian players from Albion. Gudakesh Motie, another left-arm spinner, who came through the ranks as a West Indies Under-19 player, is also a senior National Player who plies his trade at Albion Community Centre Ground.
Guyana’s current wicket-keeper/batsman Anthony Bramble is also an Albion player; as are forgotten West Indies batsmen Narasingh Deonarine and Sewnarine Chatergoon, who are also Test cricketers who passed through this cricket academy at Albion. The Albion Community Centre Club also is a well-respected cricket organization that is led by its president, Vemen Walter.
