Football and cricket coaches involved in the upcoming LIFEsport programme will take part in an orientation exercise beginning today at the Ato Boldon Stadium and Carapichaima East Secondary School respectively. The workshop for the football coaches will run until Wednesday while the cricket session will be restricted to just tomorrow. The sessions will begin at 9 am at both venues. Spearheading the coaching staff for the footballers will be former national player and national under-23 coach Angus Eve with former national players Wesley Webb, Derek King and Reynold Carrington lending support.
Conducting the workshop for the cricket coaches will be former national player Surujdath Mahabir and national under-17 coach Dasrath Maharaj. At Carapichaima the coaches will be addressed by chairman of the LIFEsport implementation committee Forbes Persaud and committee member Fabister David while national under-23 football manager and committee member William Wallace will do the honours at the Ato Boldon Stadium. The LIFEsport Programme, which caters for youth between the ages of 16 to 25 and will be conducted in 33 communities throughout the country, was launched by Minister of Sport Anil Roberts at Queen's Hall recently. 60 participants will be involved in the programme at each venue where they will undergo training in three sporting disciplines (football, cricket and basketball) as well as Life Skill and personal development programmes. The project is expected to get underway by mid July and is expected to run for two years.
