AIMED at enhancing the talent of young and promising cricketers, the Malteenoes Sports Club (MSC) will re-introduce its youth cricket academy from August 22 through to September 2 at its Thomas Lands facility. The programme which aims to attract some 60 participants will be facilitated by former national player and coach Mark Harper.
It is also expected that Guyana Amazon Warriors player Steven Jacobs, who is a member of the club, along with several of his Warriors teammates, will be on hand to deliver motivational lectures during the camp.
Among the aspects of the game that will be looked at are: hand eye coordination, reflexes, agility and flexibility, balance, speed and the laws of cricket.
Participants will also be involved in several matches during the programme which will help to test the skills, confidence and mental capabilities of players.
Registration forms can be collected at MSC from 15:00hrs Monday-Saturday. The fee for children 13 and under is $1 500 while 17 and under will pay $2 000.
Children coming in groups of five will get a special package. Guidelines for the programme will be available when uplifting the registration form.
