The Kwakwani United Sports Club (KKSUC) and TMT Global Inc. will host a sports camp catering to cricket, football and basketball development in Kwakwani, Upper Berbice, Region 10 under a project called the Kwakwani Sports Project.
Scheduled to begin on September 16th and end on September 27, the camp will be geared at teaching the basic skills of the three sporting disciplines to youngsters, along with other life skills like leadership, the importance of education, etc. A main aim of this camp is to regenerate the community’s interest in sports, especially cricket.

Coaching activities will take place at Worrell’s Park in Kwakwani, and will begin at 3:30pm from Monday to Friday. Boys and girls aged 10 and over are invited to participate in the camp.
This camp was initially scheduled for August, but because a number of persons who attend the Kwakwani Secondary School were on holiday, particularly those from riverine communities, it was rescheduled for this month to accommodate them.
The KKSUC was formed only in February of this year, while TMT Global Inc. is a foreign-owned Kwakwani-based lumber business which has been assisting in the development of sports in Kwakwani since the beginning of this year.
Its Sports Consultant, Anthony D’Andrade, has been in charge of this project. He is a former national youth player and Berbice senior team batsman, who has also completed the Cricket West Indies (CWI) Level 2 Coaching course held in July at the National Stadium.
West Indies female all-rounder Tremayne Smartt, herself a recently qualified CWI Level 2 Coach, will assist D’Andrade. Jimmy McClean and Kinesha Stewart will be the coaches for football, while Ann Gordon and Dave Causway will be in charge of the basketball coaching.
Persons interested in participating in this camp are asked to contact either Anthony D’Andrade (655-4638), Dave Causway (667-1064), Ann Gordon (663-2719), Jimmy McClean (684-7137), or Kinesha Stewart (604-3697) to register.
