Guyoil continues support of Berbice Cricket Board countywide Coaching Programme
BCB Treasurer Romash Munna received cheque from a Representative of Guyoil
The Guyana Oil Company (Guyoil) under the Castrol brand on Wednesday continued its sponsorship of the Berbice Cricket Board countywide coaching programme for junior cricketers. The coaching programme would be conducted by coaches Michael Hyles and Winston Smith and would cater for cricketers from the Under-13 to Under-19 levels. The sponsorship is worth $100,000.
Chairman of the Berbice Cricket Board Special Events Committee Hilbert Foster expressed gratitude to Guyoil for supporting the Berbice Cricket Board coaching programme and disclosed that four main coaching sessions would be held at the Blairmont, Cumberland, Area “H” and Skeldon grounds for two days each. Each of the venues would cater for 50 to 60 cricketers and special emphasis would be placed on coaching for batsmen, wicketkeepers, fast bowlers and spinners.
The young cricketers would also be exposed to fielding and physical fitness techniques.
Foster disclosed that last year under the Guyoil/Castrol Coaching Programme over 400 young cricketers benefitted. Secretary of the Berbice Cricket Board Angela Haniff stated that the main aims of the coaching programme are to identify new talents and to harness them properly for the future, while at the same time nurturing existing talents. The Berbice Cricket Board also wants to make sure that every young Berbice cricketer understands their individual role as a sport ambassador for Berbice. The Board in 2013 would be placing special emphasis on coaching with events such as the Elite Training Programme, Training of Coaches, Berbice Cricket Academy planned for the year. One day cricket academies would also be held in West Berbice, New Amsterdam/Canje, Lower Corentyne and Upper Corentyne.
