The Guyana Football Federation (GFF) and the Guyana Beverages Incorporated (GBI), inked a three year agreement yesterday to host a Kool Kidz Futsal camp aimed at children from ages 6-10 at the National Gymnasium, Mandela Avenue.
The programme will be hosted for the duration of six weeks on Saturdays at 10:00am-1:00pm. It will be supervised by coaches to develop the techniques of players, and will also include eight a-side matches.
GFF President Wayne Forde disclosed that the idea was conceptualised months prior to introduce the younger general to the sport via its smaller format.
On the other hand, GBI General Manager Samuel Arjoon stated that the company is committed to the development of the country’s local resources, adding that the programme provides the ideal opportunity to introduce the discipline to children.
Meanwhile, Minister of Culture, Youth and Sport Charles Ramson Jr stated that development of talent requires investment at the infancy level, adding, “What has been one of the bugbears in not progressing our talent in football, and in all the other sports too, is that there has always been a bottleneck, there has always been a breakage in the structure of the pathway that leads them all the way to the top.”
