OVER 60 youngsters benefitted from the knowledge of ITTF-certified coach Candacy McKenzie when Banks DIH Limited and the Junior Chamber International Guyana teamed up with Guyana Table Tennis Association (GTTA) to host an Orientation and Training Development Table Tennis Camp.

The programme, which is an annual feature and has been growing yearly, exposed the children of several of the staff to the sport of table tennis in an active and fun way.

The camp, which started on Tuesday and concluded on Thursday, was conducted by the International Table Tennis Level 1 coach and umpire, and former 2017 Sports coach-of-the-year McKenzie at the Thirst Park Sports Club.

The players learnt the fundamental aspects of the game, coordination drills, balancing, the four basic strokes and key aspects as part of the ‘teach, learn, discover’ initiative.

Coach McKenzie indicated that she was happy to work with the players and would be looking to have them registered to engage in more long-term training, since she saw an abundance of talent.
