Youth Basketball Guyana (YBG) wrapped up its development summer camp last Saturday at the Marian Academy court facility on Carifesta Avenue, Georgetown with a day filled with fun and friendly competition.
It was a day when future national basketballers showcased their skills, and
this year, more than 80 campers from various communities and schools across Guyana were in attendance, including one student from Tobago who participated in the camp.
Among the participants, 56 were first-time campers ranging in age from 6 to 15; and 7 girls who had completed the three-week programme were included. Throughout the camp, participants were reminded of the significance of basketball for many young people, which is why YBG has declared itself as remaining dedicated to creating opportunities for growth and development.
Each camper received a personalized evaluation from the coach, providing insights into their progress; and at the conclusion of the camp, YBG extended special gratitude to the parents and children for choosing YBG.
Participants have been encouraged to continue the growth started through this Academy by participating in sessions held every Saturday at the Marian Academy court.
During camp, participants had opportunity to interact with coach Willon Cameron and coordinators Shamar, Judah, Jeremiah, and Leona, among others, who imparted their knowledge and honed the skills of potential future top athletes of Guyana.
Meanwhile, the YBG group has extended special thanks to the Marian Academy for allowing them to use their court and facilities.
Additional thanks have been extended to the community partners, including Edward B. Beharry & Company Limited, G-Boats Inc, KFC Guyana, and the California to Guyana Basketball Foundation, whose unwavering support has made the initiative a success.
