Development in local athletics: Sprint Camp set for July 23

Aiming to give back to the local athletics fraternity, Arinze Chance, Guyana’s national 400-metre record holder and University of South Carolina standout athlete, is holding the inaugural Sprint Camp at the Guyana Police Force Ground on Sunday, July 23, and he is catering for athletes between the age of 10 and 16.
Participants will be engaged in sessions to benefit their personal development in terms of speed and technique, strength and power-training, recovery techniques, physiotherapy, and diet and nutrition.
“The idea is simple. All that we are trying to do is to foster the development of sport in Guyana. Track-and-field is obviously the first sport we are going to work with because I am a track-and-field athlete myself. As a professional, I’ve been involved in the sport, so next year is going to make my 20th year of being in track-and-field,” he explained.
“It was actually a no-brainer to keep this event. It’s the first of its kind, and we want to ensure that we get things done correctly as a group, because we have so many other plans that we have to develop sport. So, all we are doing at A Record Chance is fostering the development of sport, whether it be through camps, training seminars, sporting events…,” he explained.
“There is a list of things we’ll be working on as a team, and as time progresses, we’ll be able to venture off into each one,” he added.
Attendance at this camp, which commences at 11am and concludes at 3pm, is free of cost, and this camp is sponsored by the Guyana Police Force; Banks DIH Limited; F&H Printing Establishment; the Saulitude Global Sports Group; Darinz Delites Catering Co; West Indian Sports Complex; KeyNote Productions; and Dragonfly Drone Solutions.
