GBA members and GOA executives including Vidushi Persaud-McKinnon recently made a presentation of Badminton gear to the University of Guyana.
Kaieteur Sports – The Guyana Badminton Association (GBA) continued its ongoing programme as the sport made its way onto the grounds of the University of Guyana.
The GBA spiked off their Shuttle project more than a year ago, with the sport being introduced across various learning institutions in Guyana.
Most recently, collaboration between the GBA and the Guyana Olympic Association (GOA), saw even newer heights being reached.
Students and teachers of the Mon Repos Primary School in collaboration with the National Sports Commission (NSC), alongside the aforementioned associations, made a huge step as they continue to build on Guyana’s rich legacy of badminton.
Among the items presented, Rackets and Shuttles were donated to further encourage students to engage in physical exercise and develop their athletic skills.
