The Athletics Association of Guyana (AAG) initiated their academy programme with the staging of the inaugural ‘Academy Meet’ at the Eve Leary Ground yesterday, with Director of Sports Steve Ninvalle emphasising the importance of the initiative.
He hailed it as “crucial for talent identification and development” while committing to the continuance of the athletics academy under the NSC’s National Sports Academy initiative.
“The National Sports Commission, Ministry of Culture, Youth, and Sport, and by extension, the government of Guyana, will continue to partner with the AAG to fund this academy,” he declared.
