National Volleyball Coach Levi Nedd confirmed that plans are heightening as he prepares to assemble the next team who will defend Guyana’s honour in the upcoming 2018 Inter Guiana Games (IGG).

Pursuing their 5th IGG volleyball title, Nedd told Guyana Times Sport on Wednesday that pre-IGG plans were about to step up as the annual sport event approaches. The former national player said that he was currently in the process of carrying out training for the males on a weekend basis.
Nedd pointed out that the sessions have been coming along nicely to date and he expects the potential candidates to further improve their skills as time progresses. After leading Guyana to four consecutive titles, Nedd pointed out that it was critical for the players to get an early start to their training, hence the reason he commenced session since last year.
With academics playing a crucial role in the lives of most sports men and women, Nedd added that while the sessions have been consistent, he was only able to hold training on weekends due to school commitments which limit the players training attendance during the week.
After being reelected as President of the BVA on Sunday, Nedd revealed that the IGG plans were a part of the BVA’s yearly plan. He said upon discussion of the plan, moves will see selectors tackling players in Berbice before making their way to Demerara where they will complete the final search for more potential representatives.
Looking outside the IGG, Nedd in his capacity as BVA Head pointed out that he will be venturing to the Amerindian Village of Orealla where they plan to seek an audience with the Village Head as they look to make area an outer hub for volleyball.
Also, the coach said the Guysuco Training Center Port Mourant (GTCPM) team will be attending a sport workshop in the Surinamese district of Nickerie from February 22 to 25.
According to Nedd, the invitational will feature various sports with Volleyball being the premier attraction. He said those attending will be able to further hone their skills outside Guyana and gather much-needed form for the upcoming events of 2018. (Clifton Ross)
