Weather permitting, the annual Demerara Cricket Club (DCC) summer camp will commence on August 8, at the Club’s Queenstown venue.The camp, in its sixth year, will be managed by national youth Cricket Coach Garvin Nedd.
In an invited comment yesterday, Nedd said the two week camp targets mainly the Under-13, U-15 and U-19 age groups, with the aim of developing the youngsters into all-round individuals.

Participants will be taught the fundamentals in terms of the technical aspects of cricket, the laws of the game, table etiquette, healthy lifestyles,and road safety among other topics.
Nedd said the programme was of tremendous benefit over the years, whereby a number of players went on to represent Guyana at various levels.
To this end, Nedd, who recently returned from a successful Regional Under17 tournament, where his side narrowly missed out on the title by .03 points, pointed out that he will use the camp as the foundation for building another youth side ahead of next year’s tournament.

Nedd stated that the camp is part of the Club’s developmental programme.
