Administration Meeting- Cairo, Egypt: |
Implementation of Beach
Continental Competitions and Zonal Activities, the main Points
on Discussion table
Cairo, Egypt, September 8-: The Confederation of African
Volleyball (CAVB) Executive Committee will meet in Cairo, Egypt
on September 10 followed by the board of Administration on 11
and 12 September headed by CAVB President Dr. Amr Elwani to
discuss important subjects in both management, technical and
financial aspects. The meeting will discuss the Continental
competitions in the next four years in both National and Club
levels aiming to increase the area of participating teams to
involve all zones of Africa.
The meeting will negotiate some proposals to modify the system
of the Nations Championships to involve zonal qualification for
the nearby countries to increase the number of the participating
teams and decrease the costs of transportation. These proposals
may start at the senior level before being applied to the age
categories.
From the technical point of view, CAVB will discuss the
establishment of more development courses using the usual
support of the FIVB in many programmes specially the new
Volleyball Cooperation programme (VCP) which replaced the last
Sports Aid Programme (SAP) and encouraging the NFs to organize
more coaches and referee courses.
CAVB will also discuss the importance of having more sponsors
and increase marketing of the African competitions to help the
development programmes in the continent. The board will use the
experience of some countries which succeeded to start the
sponsorship in their local competitions.
Beach Volleyball will have a big part of discussions especially
after the big success of South Africa in hosting one of the
SWATCH- FIVB world tours which is considered the highest level
of the sport in the world and also the good organization of the
FIVB Satellite Beach Volleyball Championship in Morocco in the
last few years. The board will discuss the implementation of the
last proposal of starting with continental competitions on the
club level to increase the participating teams before shifting
to the national level.
"We are looking forwards to use the great progress of our
beloved sport in the last few years to do more work and use the
increasing support of the FIVB and its president Rubén Acosta,"
Said CAVB President Dr. Amr Elwani. "We had many aspects to
improve after we succeeded at the World level competitions
specially the participation in the FIVB World League for the
first time in 2006 and we want to appear in good performance
during the next World Championship in Japan which will feature
five African teams in both genders for the first time in
history." He added. |
