Sadik Nasiwu President of Uganda Volleyball Federation was the guest of honour during the clinic where he also took part in training the kids some basic skills like setting.

“Our major plan is to have these talents at an early age master the basics of the sport and we follow them up to high school,” said Karungi who led a team of coaches to St. James Primary School Nkumba Mpala for the training clinic.

“Yes we may have strong tall players, but there is no way we shall compete at international level when our boys don’t know the basics of volleyball at early age,” He added.

He explained the first beneficiary schools were identified because of their volleyball background and continued involvement in sports. “We looked at the active schools in Volleyball and we chose those that we felt could be assisted to improve on their performance,” Karungi added.

The Clinic had a great atmosphere as the participants and spectators had learnt some basic volleyball skills with included lead up games, the kids also played some 2 vs 2 and 4 Vs 4 matches.
