… Blairmont Cricket Club Easter Camp commences tomorrow
TALENT identification is considered an important assignment for the Blairmont Cricket Club, with the specific task of recognising talent at a very early age.
In this regard, the club will host its annual Easter Camp from tomorrow to Saturday April 7 at the Blairmont Estate ground.
President of the Blairmont Cricket Club businessman Shabeer Baksh, in an exclusive interview yesterday, pointed out that Easter Camp has been part of the membership drive at the club over the last eight years.
He noted that one of the main objectives of the camp is to identify talent, since a number of participants went on to represent Berbice and Guyana at different levels of the game.
The camp will also focus on the discipline of batting, bowling and fielding. There will also be other fun activities such as table tennis, checkers, dominoes, sports movies among others, according to Baksh.
The individuals expected to make presentations include national coaches Julian Moore, Adrian Amsterdam, Andre Percival and Winston Smith.
Topics relevant to society, for example suicide, peer pressure, behavioural patterns, drug and alcohol abuse and teenage pregnancy, as well as players’ roles will be discussed.
The camp is open to players from 10 to 18 years old.
Interested individuals can register through Mr Khan 609-9379 or Mr Baksh on 628-6767.
