CLAINE Anthony Plummer is once again in Guyana, compliments of regional body CONCACAF, to facilitate a Goalkeeping Training Programme for the coaches attached to the affiliates of the Guyana Football Federation (GFF).
The five-day programme which began on Monday, September 4 was officially opened at the venue – Training Centre, Guyana Fire Service (GFS) – yesterday.

“I think it’s important to bring awareness to know what it takes to coach modern-day goalkeepers, because you could see the progression of the game, the goalkeeping department is something that progressed as well,” Plummer told the gathering of coaches.
The CONCACAF’s Goalkeeper Instructor added, “All of this knowledge that we’re going to learn here, it’s important for you to pass it on in order for goalkeeping to grow here in Guyana.”

Acting president, Brigadier (Ret.) Bruce Lovell, noted the importance of the course, “What this training does is it aligns with our vision for building capacity in all areas of football.”
According to Lovell, as the GFF Executive Committee seeks to elevate the standard of football in Guyana, it is important that they provide the right climate for the persons who play a critical role for the persons creating the standards for them to be so trained.

“We view the coaches in all areas as a very critical and essential element in this whole process of elevating our standards of football,” Lovell said.
This is the second such course held under the Wayne Forde-led GFF. Plummer conducted the first last October.
