The Linden Table Tennis Committee (LTTC) led by President, Howard James and General Secretary, Shavin Greene served off its first Table Tennis Summer Camp on Monday at the Mackenzie High School Auditorium.
Greene and James, both International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) Level I Coaches, are conducting the programme, which is sponsored in part by Banks DIH Limited and Sports Plus Store with support from the Guyana Table Tennis Association (GTTA).
A release from the GTTA said that the programme is aimed at introducing, orienting and teaching the fundamentals of the sport of table tennis to children between ages 8-18 years in a fun and structural way with the view of creating new nucleus of players/talents, which would create the foundation for development of Table Tennis in Linden.
The organisers have indicated that they have registered over 40 players, who would be split into two categories for better management of the programme. The programme will be held from July 6-17 and will culminate with a competition on July 16-17.
Following the tournament, the best talents will be indentified for continuous training. There are also plans to develop the programme in a more holistic way, targeting players from the entire region.
Greene, who recently completed his ITTF Level I certification, was recognised by ITTF Latin American Development Officer, Ramon Ortega Montes as a great coaching prospect in his report to the ITTF on the course conducted in Guyana in August 2014.
Greene is the brainchild behind the developmental initiative in Linden.
