GBFA planning registration drive, Referees Course
The Guyana Beach Football Association (GBFA) will be commencing a registration drive for teams playing this format of the game. According to a release from the Body the aim is to have clubs strengthen their capacity so that they can access developmental programmes under the aegis of the GBFA.

The other aspect is referees development and to this end the association has planned a Referees Development Course which is slated to commence near the end of November. The release added that the Association feels that the Course is critical for the future development of the format since there are no certified Beach Football Referees in Guyana.
It further mentioned that it will be seeking the input of the Guyana Football Federation in this critical area. Rollin Tappin, one of the leading referees in this version of the sport locally, will be among those keen to promote this aspect of the programme and receive international certification.
Meanwhile, the GBFA has closed off competition for the rest of the year due in part to the recent strike in Linden. The Association, however, has received and accepted an invitation from the Bagosports Beach Club of Trinidad and Tobago to participate in their international tournament from November 1-5, 2012 and have already called a number of players to try out with a view of making the final twelve for the tourney and will be seeking the support of corporate Guyana to make the trip possible.
