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.

Aliyu Baba Shines with Six Goals in Five NNL Appearances for Sporting Lagos
Joel Ajayi
Striker Aliyu Baba of Sporting Lagos, continues to court attention in the Nigeria National League (NNL) with his impressive goalscoring return, netting 6 times in five starts in the second division.
Aliyu, 21, scored a hattrick in a must-win away match against Solution FC on Sunday evening, taking his tally to 6 goals from just five starts.
The lagos-based club signed him from Mahanaim FC during mid-season transfer window, after it struggled to find the back of the net in the first stanza of the season.
Aliyu opened his Sporting account scoring a brace in a 3-2 away win over Abakaliki FC. He followed that with a goal against First Bank FC after coming from the bench.
The deadly striker then produced another stunning away performance, scoring a hattrick in the 3-3 away draw against Solution FC.
He delivered 6-goals in 9 total appearances (5-starts and 3 substitute apps) for the Lagos club, despite only joining them in March during the mid-season window.
This goalscoring prowess has now attracted many football followers and clubs in the country.
