National Volleyball camp opens May 31

Posted : 23 May 2023
The U-18 volleyball players are expected to converge in Ahmadu Bello Stadium in Kaduna for the National Open U18 Boys and Girls camp billed for May 31 to June 4.

The open camp is to select players who will represent the country at the 2023 African U-17 Boys and Girls Nations Championship scheduled to hold from July 6 to 16 in Nigeria.

The Technical Representative of Nigeria Volleyball Federation, Martin Melandi disclosed that the Federation wanted to create a level playing ground for players from different parts of the country.

Melandi cautioned academy and state coaches to avoid releasing overaged players for the open camp.

He said, "The Federation has a policy that encourages equity and fairness in the selection of players for the national teams. 

"We are trying to select the best hands that can make the country proud ahead of the African U17 Boys and Girls Nations Championship to be hosted by Nigeria in July.

"I am appealing to all the coaches in the various academies and states not to send players over the age of 18 years old. 

"I am aware the National Youth Games is a platform where children under the age of 15 participate and I have seen younger players feature in the Division 1 and 2 Leagues respectively.

"Players who will be participating in Division 1 and 2 Leagues are exempted from the open camp as coaches will be sent to select more players leagues in Imo State,'' Melandi said.

The Technical Director also said that the Federation wanted to set a standard where it can be sure of parading younger players who stand the test of time in the next decade."

The former international national referee commended the board member of the Nigeria Volleyball Federation for ensuring the open camp is embarked on to select players.
