Guyana’s national badminton player Narayan Ramdhani has hailed his one-week badminton camp a success.
Ramdhani, who is currently home on holidays from University, and is preparing for the upcoming Pan Am games in Peru spoke to Stabroek Sports in an exclusive interview.
“Yea, it was surely a success. We had a lot of kids turning out… and we had the opportunity to teach them the basics.
“The camp cost six thousand dollars and we gave them a Yonex Racquet which was basically the camp fee. We did it to encourage more participation in badminton,” he said adding that the development of the sport was at the forefront of the decision to stage the camp.
“We really want to continue developing badminton in Guyana. You know we have been doing well over the years and my sister and I will be out of the juniors soon so we need to spot new talent and develop the ones we have,” was his take.
The camp was held daily at the National Gymnasium from 10:00hrs to noon and at the Marian Academy during the latter part of the day. The camp was supported by Ansa McAl.
