Former NBA player arrives in Guyana today for workshop
Jermaine Taylor, Rich Mahler
Former NBA player Jermaine Taylor (Houston Rockets) and founder of The Xperience Outreach, Rich Mahler, will arrive in Guyana today to launch the Youth Hoops Basketball Clinic & Tour.
The skill development clinic, organised by Green Mango Media in partnership with The Xperience Outreach in the United States and the Guyana Amateur Basketball Federation (GABF), will run from today to Saturday in Georgetown and Linden.
The training sessions will be held at Burnham hard court on Middle and Carmichael Streets, today and Saturday from 10:30hrs, while the McKenzie High School Court, Linden, will host a session tomorrow.
All sessions are free for high school students between the ages of 11 and 19-years-old who are already playing basketball.
Taylor and Mahler will identify players with the potential to make it to the next level and explain the pathway to sports scholarships in the United States and playing in the NBA.
Participants will work on footwork, aggressiveness, mentality, and all around offensive skills, including ball handling and shooting. This unique programme will be challenging yet fun for young boys and girls at all skill levels.
In a release to the media, Amanda Wilson from Green Mango Media noted that, “This is the first of many programmes focusing on skills development for young basketball players in Guyana, our team will be organising in partnership with Xperience Outreach in the United States. Guyanese youth players are talented and driven and deserve ever opportunity that will help them move to the next level whether it’s playing college basketball or even in the NBA. Both Taylor and Mahler are excited to be visiting Guyana for the first time.”
