The Guyana Basketball Federation (GBF) is sending a team of Under-23 players and a coach to Paraguay for a high-performance 3×3 training camp from June 9 to 13.
This opportunity is made possible through the Guyana Olympic Association’s (GOA) Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Paraguayan Olympic Committee, which was signed in preparation for the Junior Pan Am Games in Asunción from August 9 to 23.
The selected players are Stephen George, Anish Ramlall, Domitre Ranking, and Arren Vanlewin.
Willon Cameron, a physical education teacher at President’s College with a degree in Sports Coaching from the University of the West Indies and a FIBA Level 2 certification, will coach the team.
Cameron is known for leading the Colts Basketball Club to consecutive national titles.
The players selected are:
Arren Vanlewin: A 19-year-old from Kwakwani, who plays for Untouchables and has represented Guyana at the Inter-Guiana Games (IGG).
Anish Ramlall: A 19-year-old student-athlete at St. Cloud State University, who the GBF says has consistently demonstrated commitment.
Stephen George: An 18-year-old player for Amelia’s Ward Jets, seen by the GBF as a promising talent for the future.
Domitre Ranking: A 19-year-old player for Colts Basketball Club, who the GBF is actively supporting for development into the senior national program.
“The GBF welcomes the opportunity to expose our young players to a format of the game that is a high priority in our vision for basketball in Guyana,” said GBF President Michael Singh in a statement.
Singh also expressed confidence in Coach Cameron, stating, “We also welcome the opportunity to expose our coaches, and Coach Cameron is a worthy candidate. He has taken deliberate steps to become qualified, and his work at the youth level, especially at President’s College, speaks for itself.”
The GBF thanked the GOA for the collaboration and expressed its anticipation for continued cooperation to develop all formats of basketball in Guyana.
