Seven candidates out of ten who originally participated in the Guyana Football Federation (GFF)-organised Elementary Coaching Course which was conducted by Instructor Keith O’Jeer from August 4-10 at the Kamarang Community Centre in Region 7 were presented with certificates last Saturday, shortly after the completion of the Upper Mazaruni Inter-District Games.
The seven successful participants were Calio Elliman, McNeil Reid, Ina Ranny, Casey Hastings, Rudolph Wellington, Kenrick Henrito and Alex Crammer.

According to O’Jeer, the candidates were taught the basic elements in the art of coaching and are now equipped to go back to their respective communities and impart what they learned during the one-week Course.
“I must admit that I was looking forward to many more participants attending the Course, especially since the community is a football loving one, but I guess the small turnout was due in part to the staging of the Inter-District Games which required a lot of personnel to organize and ensure its success,” O’Jeer said.
He, however, promised on behalf of the GFF more Courses of that nature and urged prospective aspirants to keep informed and updated about the new techniques and laws of the game.
