Member Associations to benefit from ball presentation
GFF Kool Kidz Grassroots Programme
In anticipation of the Kool Kidz Grassroots Programme, which is scheduled to kick start on Saturday, November 3, the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) has presented footballs to three Member Associations as a lead-up to the national event.
GFF President Wayne Forde presents the balls to Frankie Wilson in the presence of GFF’s Bryan Joseph and TDO Devnon Winter
The presentation of 25 footballs to each Association was recently made by GFF President Wayne Forde to Technical Development Officers (TDOs) of the East Bank Demerara, East Demerara and West Demerara Football Associations respectively.
The presentation of the balls to the Member Associations was seen as a way to aid the execution of the national grassroots programme. The programme seeks to expand the player population in the 6-12 years age group across Guyana, among other things. The rest of the nine Member Associations across the country can expect a similar presentation of gear later in the week.
The programme, which is being conducted in partnership with the Guyana Beverages Inc, is scheduled to be held every Saturday in each of the nine Member Associations, and will feature fun and interactive football activities that will effectively introduce young children to the sport.
The GFF Kool Kidz Grassroots Programme has evolved from the GFF Kool Kidz Sunday, an initiative which was held in Georgetown and attracted a large number of participants.
