Following two weeks of intense match assessments, National Volleyball Coach Levi Nedd has shortlisted a few players, who will now look to make the final cut ahead of the May 26 start to the invitational in Bolivia.
The sessions were conducted in Berbice and in town at the National Gymnasium, where the players from both counties engaged in high-octane competition to determine worthy nominations for the overseas assignment.
Senior male and female volleyballers will continue their training and preparation ahead of the Bolivian Invitational starting May 26
While Berbice beat Demerara last weekend in the return leg, the Demerara ladies showed their skill as they got the better of their counterparts from the Ancient County. Nedd, the President of the Berbice Volleyball Association (BVA), told Guyana Times Sport on Wednesday that he was pleased with what he saw over recent weeks.
Nedd, a former player turned successful Head Coach of the senior male/female Guyana volleyball team, added that the past two weeks were focused on identifying the players. He said that he was impressed by the performances as most of the talent was equal to the task.
The Coach said now that the initial assessment stage was over, he would now be placing heavy emphasis on the current batch of accepted players. With the overseas task spiking off on the same day Guyana celebrates its independence, Nedd explained that a win would certainly help to make the occasion more special.
According to Nedd, the players will continue their training while more practice matches and simulations will be conducted in the weeks to come as further areas of strength will be assessed ahead of the final selection for both the male and female senior teams. (Clifton Ross)
