NVBF boss calls for Mandatory establishment of sport academies by clubs
President of Nigeria Volleyball Federation (NVBF) Musa Nimrod has called for a mandatory establishment of academies by Premier League volleyball clubs in the country.
Nimrod made the call on Friday at a technical committee meeting of the state Volleyball Association in Kaduna.
He said there were concerns on the need for further grassroots development ahead of major competitions.
He said: “Establishing sports academy will give great opportunity to develop athletes with training and competing during competitions.
“Sports academies are a great opportunity to develop yourself in your chosen sport with training and competing in fixtures every day.
“There are so many reasons for establishing sports academies which include 6-10 hours professional coaching each week and post-match analysis.
Other reasons adduced are the “opportunity to compete against people of your own age locally, regionally and nationally and free travel to and from training and matches’’.
He tasked coaches in the state to step up action in preparation for the National Sports Festival (NSF) billed for Delta this year.
Earlier, Coach Vincent Unogwu said Kaduna remained one of the top volleyball talent-grooming state and a force to reckon with in the sport.

Lawal Delivers Another Brilliant Performance in Europe
After displaying great form for Istra 1961against Vukovar in the score draw encounter in the elite league few days ago in Croatia, Salim Fago Lawal has continued to enjoy rave of the moment status in the Eastern European nation.
On Wednesday, Lawal was on the scores sheet for Istra in the 75th minute against Kurilovec, but it was only for consolation, as Istra crashed out of Croatian cup in round 16.
It was a masterpiece display from the former Flying Eagles striker, whose work rate has shown great development after joining Istra from modest Nigerian clubside in 2023.
He has scored three goals and two assists, totally five – goal contribution as a striker so far this season.
Interestingly, two other Flying Eagles players, Israel Ayuma and Charles Agada, who are also former players of Mavlon FC, featured in the game and they gave good account of themselves.
Sadly, it was not the day of victory on the pitch for the three former players of Mavlon FC of Lagos.
