Since their inception last year, Uganda’s Vision Volleyball Camp’s (VVC) coach Hannington Nsubuga has publicly confessed that the team’s target is not only to compete locally but also internationally.
The NSSF Volleyball League and National Clubs Championship holders leave Wednesday evening for their maiden appearance at the African Clubs Championship in Cairo Egypt slated for March 26-April 5.
The team seems to be in fine form, they have lifted all the championship they have participated in with too much ease this year.
Of course riding on last year’s form that saw the club win nine title in 11 finals, VVC have this term defended the Joan Cox Memorial Championship and won the Ndejje Open last month.
Last weekend in Jinja they also defended the Jinja Open after defeating former superpower KAVC 3-0 (25-21, 25-15, 25-14) in the finals.
“I believe the team is in fine form and in the right state of mind to compete,” Nsubuga told cavb.org after the final in Jinja.
“Playing at such an event will expose the team to ta totally new kind of volleyball and that should elevate us to greater heights,” he added.
VVC will be banking on players like Prossy Alobo, Shamim Makongoro and Peace Busingye who have played at this stage before.
Alobo played for Nkumba and Ndejje Elites in the past just like the latter two did with Ndejje.
“Those three should be able to help the team stand firmly since they know what to expect at this stage.”
But also Josephine Nammanda and Milly Laker boast of vast experience gained from their involvement with the national team since 2013.
VVC will be looking at emulating Ndejje who defied odds to reach the last eight of the competition in 2013 in Antananarivo Madagascar in their maiden appearance.
