Nedd committed to building strong IGG volleyball unit

President of the Berbice Volleyball Association (BVA) and Head Selector Levi Nedd said scouting for fresh talent ahead of the 2018 Inter Guiana Games (IGG) has already begun, noting that he’s impressed with the young upcoming talent.
During an exclusive interview with Guyana Times Sport on Monday, Nedd stated that with four IGG titles already in the bag, it is important to commence recruiting and training of new players over the next six months as they prepare to hunt a fifth title.

When asked on the importance of the ongoing Secondary School’s tourney currently being played in Berbice, Nedd added that the competition itself is a reservoir for “raw talent” and he’s immensely impressed by some of the performances of the teens, one of which was a part of the last year’s IGG squad. “We’re seeing a lot of raw talent in the school competition, especially from the youngsters and it’s good because it will help to take volleyball to the next level,” said the BVA President.
Speaking on upcoming plans ahead of the 2018 IGG, the selector pointed out that it was critical for them to identify as much skillful players as possible over the next few months so they can be brought into the picture and commence their training immediately in order to be well-prepared should they find favor with the selectors ahead of picking the national squad.
The former National player also noted that while the team has been doing well over the past few years both locally and regionally, he confirmed that more training will be conducted indoors as they look to step up their all-round training in the days ahead. “If we want to be prepared for the international stages and play volleyball we will need to train and have accurate simulations which mirror that of the international standards”, He said.
In closing, Nedd was adamant that a well-oiled Guyana unit can continue their amazing run and deliver another piece of silverware come next IGG, adding that the holistic goal in the months to come will be directed to ensuring volleyball is continuously developed and promoted thereafter.
