National camp important for growth of volleyball - Nimrod
15 players from various clubs in the Nigeria Volleyball Premier and the Division 1 Leagues were gathered at the Ahmadu Bello Stadium (ABS) to gather more skills and techniques ahead of major championships.
“I am making an appeal 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.
