Nigerian Paravolley Federation commences early preparation for African Games, World Paravolley World Cup

Posted : 14 April 2023
The President of the Nigerian Paravolley Federation, Kayode Ladele has revealed that the federation was working towards assembling a national team that Nigerians would be proud of.  

Ladele revealed this in  his post-camp assessment following the conclusion of the two weeks exercise for the men’s national team.

The Paravolley Federation President noted that the team, needed to get ready on time for the African Games and the World Paravolley World Cup.

``The exercise was done under the supervision of medal-winning and certified international coach, Elaiuty Mosaad from Egypt.

“There are a lot of activities happening this year. There is a West African versus South African para volley competition coming up in June. 

``There is also African Games, and there is the World Cup,'' he said.

Ladele added: ``Already, Nigeria has qualified for the world cup organised by the World Para volley holding in Egypt.  

``We do not want to be caught unawares, this is why we have arranged the open camp to bring all of them together and choose the team in order to begin regular training,'' he said.

On the criteria for players' invitations across the country, the federation president said that the promising players at the last competition organised by the federation in 2022 got invited.

``Others who had been consistent recently in the game are also welcomed and accommodated,'' he said.

With the recent acceptance and steady growth of the sport in Nigeria, Ladele says there was a need for consistency and hard work to achieve the short and medium-term goals set. 

``Although the West African versus South African paravolley competition is designed for clubs across the two subregions, the federation thought it best to maximise the opportunity to expose the national team.

``We need to expose them to international stage ahead of the African Games between Sept. 2 and 3 in Accra, Ghana, and the World Cup.

“In the long run, we intend to raise a team that can stand as the standard of what we want. 

``Then we can start encouraging teams, players and many people will have something to look forward to”, he concluded.
