As the rain clouds greeted the 21 participants and Coach Ludys Tejada on Thursday, January 18, 2024, they headed to the classroom at the National Racquet Centre to review the previous day’s topics.
Coach Tejada then talked about the World Antidoping Agency (WADA) and the new updated prohibited list. Archery Guyana and World Archery are committed to the fight against doping and to keeping the sport of archery clean.
As the rain passed, the participants went outdoors to the shooting range to put the knowledge they learnt into practice. Different tools were made by the participants to correct errors in the shooting form. They were learning also to observe each other to point out what the others have to improve.
At the end of the day, the participants learnt a lot about form. Coach Tejada commented on the fact that she has been asked a lot of very interesting questions about the size and weight of the bows for children, how to determine if the archer is using a correct bow, exercises for children and adults. She has declared happily that the participants are putting their heart into archery.
