GBA pleased with Coaches’ seminar plans more

To stage DDL Under-16 Championship this weekend

The Guyana Boxing Association (GBA) has expressed pleasure at the outcome of the recently staged Coaches’ seminar. President of the association, Steve Ninvalle, described the event as highly successful and timely.
He noted that the participants dealt with both theory and practical sessions and it was heartening to see 19 turning out on each day of the programme with one coming from Mahaica. Ninvalle informed that National Coach Wincel Thomas has been doing some work in Mahaica after being invited by Naim Chan and the folks at the Unity Sports Club, and it was one of the members there that came for further training to better serve the budding talent in that area. It was noted that efforts are underway to have a boxing gym in the area.
The GBA head said it was heartening to see the two females involved, boxing champ Pamela London and Coach Paulette Nurse, and that another two-day programme has been organised for sometime next month as the feedback from the participants was that the programme was well received and they requested continuity.
Commendation was also extended to Cuban Coach Francisco Hernandez Roldon and Terrence Poole for the work they are doing to assist the junior coaches.
Meanwhile, the Under-16 boxers will be in action this weekend, Saturday and Sunday, at the Andrew ‘Six head’ Lewis Gym when the association, with corporate partner, Demerara Distillers Limited (DDL), stage the Under-16 Championships.
This is the second year DDL has sponsored the programme and Ninvalle said that there has been a distinct improvement among the young fighters and he is hopeful that trend will continue as the level of coaching is improved.
The association also has plans to hold the Under-16 tournament in several venues in the future including Linden, Essequibo, Berbice and Georgetown.
