Hon Famous Daunemigha revealed that the players invited to camp were selected after cross examination from board members in the technical committee and due to the performances of the players during their various last outings.
He said, “A total of 14 players have been invited to camp ahead of the 2021 FIVB Age Group U19 Qualifiers and U21 Beach Volleyball in Thailand. We invited six U21 boys, four U21 Girls and four U19 Girls. The board believes this is an opportunity to breed new set of beach volleyball national team players.

President of the Nigeria Volleyball Federation (NVBF), Engineer Musa Nimrod, has called on Nigerian families to adopt healthy living habits through regular participation in sporting and fitness activities.
Nimrod made the call on Sunday during the third edition of the Hoba Development Association, Abuja Chapter, novelty sports event held at the Indoor Sports Hall of the Moshood Abiola National Stadium, Abuja.
He noted that physical activities such as sports are vital to fostering family bonds, community interaction, and overall well-being.

Also speaking, the stand-in Chairman of the Hoba Community, Barrister Nathan Naandeti, highlighted the significance of the annual novelty games, describing them as a unifying platform for members of the community.
“It’s something we do every year to promote unity, togetherness, and fitness among our people. Sports is part of who we are,” he stated.
Men, women, and children from the Hoba community participated in various sporting activities, including volleyball, badminton, football, and aerobics—all aimed at encouraging relaxation, fitness, and bonding among families.
