GCB coaches undergoing first aid training

In an effort to ensure all of the coaches under its umbrella are equipped with first aid knowledge the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) has set up a first aid programme to make that initiative possible.
The programme is a two day programme which is being facilitated by St. John’s Association (Guyana). It started on Sunday November 6 2016 at the St. John’s Association location at Cowan Street Kingston and will conclude on Thursday November 10.

The clinic was facilitated by Fayon Jordan and was attended by national coach Esuan Crandon, West Indies A and national Assistant Coach/ Manager Rayon Griffith, Clive Grimmond, Winston Smith, Latchman Yadram and Zaheer Mohamed among other emerging coaches.
The first aid is a requirement for all coaches in this modern era which allows them to be well rounded outside their norms.
Crandon said it was a good initiative on the Board’s behalf, since it expands areas of professionalism and will help the coaches to deal with other situations besides batting or bowling.
