Deputy Secretary General of the Tanzania Volleyball Association, George John said that the association had decided to focus on competition as the only effective way of promoting the game.

“The game has in recent years lost its popularity, therefore steps are needed to revive it,“ John said.

He said the competitions would involve men`s and woman’s teams from all over Tanzania.

He also said the new arrangement has focused on popularising the game amongst children.

“The idea behind this approach is to build a formidable volleyball team for international competitions,“ said the deputy Secretary General.

Written by Israel Saria

I have been involved with sports in Tanzania as a Volleyball Coach for many years—and was a Tanzania Amateur Volleyball Association (TAVA) leader. I studied sports management at Leipzig University in Germany and understand the science behind sports. That led me to work as a football pundit, with the BBC ( Swahili service) in London. That experience and exposure took me to covering the 2010, World Cup in South Africa. This provided me with a great insight into international level football commentary and the opportunity to carry out extensive research into the game including its players, the stadiums, the rules and tactics.I have also been grateful to meet a wide range of people connected to football in the UK, Tanzania, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Ireland, France, Kenya etc, and visited almost all of the key football stadiums across United Kingdom, and Europe.
