– START TODAY AT VRYMAN’S ERVIN COURT, NEW AMSTERDAM

THE first of seven basketball clinics to be staged across the country by the Brusches Basketball foundation begins today  with the first such clinic for 50 primary school children in Berbice at the Vryman’s Erving basketball court in New Amsterdam, Berbice.

The clinic, which will be conducted by United States-based former national captain, James Brusche and his brother Mike, who is a former national captain and coach, will be staged from 13.00hrs. They are here for the staging of their biennial tournament which, this year, has targeted Under-18 players from clubs across the country.

Former national player Shauna Chester will be assisting the foundation in the clinics across Guyana as others are set for the East Coast Demerara, Georgetown, Linden and Kwakwani.

From 13.00hrs, the clinic bounces off at the Vryman’ Erving basketball court in New Amsterdam, and tomorrow, the first of two clinics for 50 primary school children on the East Coast will be held at the Plaisance Guardians basketball court from 11.00hrs.

After that, the second clinic will be at the Burnham Court in Georgetown for another 50 primary school children in that catchment area, starting at 13.00hrs.

On Thursday, the clinic is set for the Mackenzie Sports Club hard court from 13.00hrs and the last clinic will be staged next Monday at the Kwakwani basketball court for players in that area.

The Ministry of Education in the respective areas was contacted to ensure the primary school children in their communities receive the coaching from the former national players who see this as a means of giving back to the development of the sport at the basic levels.
