NATIONAL volleyball coach Levi Nedd has released the names of the players who will comprise the National Under-19 squad for this year’s Inter-Guiana Games, scheduled to be held in Paramaribo, Suriname from October 16 to 20.

The squad includes five players who have represented Guyana at the U-19 level in previous games and has a mixture of players from Berbice and Demerara.
The full squad is: Creston Rodney, Brepau Bandoo, Surendra Motiepersaud, Akeem Bowling, Kevin Damon, Steven Veerapen, Van Bowling, Muaaz Inshan, Ryan Munroe, Klondyke Rodney, Suresh Kallichand, Samuel Fraser, Raju Singh, Yoganand Dhoray, Asif Emanullah, Kellon Stewart and Kemo Bess.
According to Nedd, Damon, Rodney, Bandoo, Munroe & Rodney are from Demerara and the others are from Berbice. The coach said that the squad have been involved in practice sessions for quite a while, but outdoors.
He indicated that the IGG Volleyball matches are held indoors and with that in mind he has arranged for the players to have practice sessions at the National Gymnasium where there is a Taraflex volleyball court.
Coach Nedd said it is essential that the players have the experience of playing on such a surface and the different feel of playing indoors. The sessions will be held on August 30, 31 and Sept 1. Nedd will be assisted by national player Quacy Matheson who has been the assistant coach over the past three months.
Meanwhile the Berbice Volleyball Association’s Competitions Committee is reminding all affiliated clubs to register for the Reggie Goberdhan Memorial Trophy League. Competition is scheduled to commence in September and conclude in December.
Each affiliate can enter one team and the closing date for entry is September 6. Clubs can contact the BVA secretary Levi Nedd on tel. 336-6264 or 641-9592 and/or the president, Gregory Rambarran, on tel. 333-4014 for further information.
