YBG concludes successful summer camp at CASH on 25/8

Participants and coaches posed as the camp concluded with a bang

Youth Basketball Guyana have, on August 25th 2022, wrapped up three weeks of summer basketball development camp held at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall on Homestretch Avenue in Georgetown.

Part of the action

That programme saw over 75 youngsters aged from 5 years to 18 years old benefiting from the YBG camp this year. The camp had catered for three sets of skills from Monday to Friday: Beginners between the ages of 6 and 11 were accommodated, as were the Girls, Intermediate, and advanced Boys age groupings.
The YBG have said they have shown, and would like to continue showing, their gratitude to the California 2 Guyana Basketball Foundation for continued support extended to youth basketball development in Guyana.
They also take this opportunity to extend deep gratitude to parents and guardians who brought out their children to the sessions coached by Leona, Zian, and Lugard Mohan.
The YBG Academy would be on a two-week break from activities, but would resume on September 10th at the CASH, where they would be looking to implement a youth basketball curriculum. This is a pilot programme that would seek to have all the schools and coaches on the same developmental track in terms of enforcing the fundamentals of the game.
In October, YBG would also be hosting a student athlete conference for senior class players (4th, 5th, 6th formers), who would be given career guidance. The YBG would close out the year with the highly anticipated Titan Bowl.
