GTT supports Malteenoes Cricket Academy

– National Coaches to be complemented by NSC Coaches

Guyana Telephone and Telegraph  (GTT) recently joined the growing list of sponsors to have come on board the Malteenoes Summer Cricket Camp, which bowls off on July 23.
On Friday, at the company’s head office in Brickdam Georgetown, GTT joined the list of companies and business entities supporting this year’s two-week Malteenoes Cricket Academy. Under the slogan ‘More Love’, the telephone giant provided water bottles for every student of the Academy, as well as for the coaches.
Students between the ages of 6 and 18 years old will be divided into two groups, and will participate in action lasting from 09:00h to 15:00h. Lunch will be provided from 12:00h-13:00h daily.
The Academy will include classroom sessions and field work, which will provide the recipients with tools to become Cricketers, Umpires, Scorers, Journalists and Broadcasters.
Facilitators will talk on Education, Social Skills, Health and Hygiene, Etiquette, Child Protection, Law and History of Cricket, Umpiring and Scoring, while the Director of Sports, Christopher Jones, will provide two National Sports Commission (NSC) Coaches, in addition to those who conduct sessions at the Academy.
National Youth Coach Orin Bailey is full time coach, while sessions will be conducted by National Head Coach Esuan Crandon. Fast bowling sessions will be conducted by former Malteenoes and West Indies Test pacer, Colin Stuart. Spin bowling sessions will be done by former Test off-spinner Clyde Butts, while several other coaches would also be involved.
Registration fee is $3,000, and forms can be uplifted at the Club. The deadline for registration is July 20.
