After a very successful camp held in Demerara, Precision Sports will continue training young female cricketers across Guyana on the 14th and 15th of June in the Essequibo county.
Female athletes from across the country will participate in various training sessions as they look to enhance their skills and develop their personal game.
Organiser of the camps, Nidia Andrews shared some of her thoughts before this weekend activities.
“We will definitely be focusing on batting and fitness during this Essequibo leg of the training sessions. Batting has been a lacking factor over the years, and after the Demerara sessions, it showed us how much needs to be done,” Andrews noted.

The organiser divulged, “Training is open to females of any age group since the goal is to help with the development of their skills. At present, we have the U19 girls, senior inter-county players, and a few national players coming out.”
Andrews also expressed gratitude to the Essequibo Cricket Board (ECB) for the important role it is playing, in order to maximise the upcoming training sessions.
“The Essequibo Cricket Board is providing us with the hostel in Anna Regina and their bowling machine in the indoor area so we are very grateful for that.”
“To be as transparent as possible, it was extremely difficult to get an indoor facility during our Demerara sessions. The countless calls and running around we had to do and never got a straight answer from the National Sporting Commission. We had access to the National Gymnasium due to just showing up and having faith that it would work out. We bought brooms the morning of the Saturday session and swept the water off the basketball court, then on Sunday the volleyball team had no issue sharing the inside with us when they came in, because it was raining heavily outside,” Andrews later disclosed.
Precision Sports continues to aid in the females’ preparation as the cricketers continue to fine-tune their skills for the upcoming Women’s 15-over tournament taking place in Guyana from August 9th to the 15th.
