THE Georgetown Cricket Association (GCA) will culminate their Youth Fast-bowling clinic, with a 3-Day camp for U-19 players, from Friday, December 27 to Sunday 29 at the National Gymnasium, Mandela Avenue.
With the New Year just days away, the GCA will now ensure that the young crop of potential U-19 fast-bowlers enter 2020 with a bit of zest, following a few weeks of training.
The concept was initiated a few months back when Guyana Jaguars head Physio/Strength and Condition coordinator Neil Barry Jr and his technical team from the University of Guyana’s Physio department, held daily classes for the young bowlers.
Prior to his departure for the Regional Super50, Barry Jr managed to break out the speed gun as he held a few sessions at the Malteenoes Sports Club, which was well-attended.
Continued emphasis will be placed on the important technical aspects of fast-bowling, which is geared towards bowling at faster speeds while sustaining the pace over a significant period.
Additionally, the participants will have the opportunity to engage in power training while being taught to maintain their speeds. In addition to persons who were in the programme from its inception in October, new fast bowlers between ages 14 and 19 are invited and they are advised to come in training kits with indoor sneakers.
Daily refreshments will be provided and moderate prizes given on the last day for commendable efforts from the participants.
