Volleyball gala begins 24 May

The Greater Accra Volleyball gala, to usher in the league season will be played at the Lebanon House in Accra on Friday 24 May and Saturday 25 May.

Mr L.S. Adjei, Vice Chairman of the Greater Accra Volleyball Association who announced this in Accra on Monday, said teams expected to participate in the gala include the Ghana Prisons Service, Ghana National Fire Service, Ghana Navy, Volta Aluminium Company Limited, Ghana Army, Stoke City, Peace Volleyball Club Great Lante Mills and Ghana Police Service.

He regretted that volleyball has not enjoyed any support from the sports authorities for a long time adding that "only a few individuals and companies have been contributing to help the association to organise its programmes." Mr Adjei called on the Ministry of Youth and Sports to give the sport the necessary push so that volleyball can make a stride both on the local and international scene.
