FIVB Development Centre for South Africa

South Africa, November 21, 2007- South Africa will be going to have the honor of hosting another FIVB Development Centre in Africa following the active preparations of the South African Volleyball activities led by FIVB’s newly elected Board member, VSA President, Tubby Reddy who also serves on the World Body’s Development Commission to persuade the FIVB to establish this centre there to help the South African countries to have more development courses in that area which will aim to improve the volleyball infrastructure in this area.

According to Reddy plans are afoot to identify and set up such a centre. The centre will become fully operational once the FIVB gives its approval following an in-loco inspection of the facility.

On the other hand South Africa Volleyball Federation started to relaunch the SA Volleyball web site (www.volleyballsa.co.za) which will include all the National Federation activities. The federation will produce also an official newsletter which will be a proper guide to the Media about all the competitions.

“My congratulations go to the Media Directorate on its re-launch of our official newsletter, “SA Volley News” which co-incides with the revival of the VSA website,” Tubby Reddy said. “These crucial vehicles of communication will not only enhance our efforts to disseminate information to our affiliates but also allow the media and relevant stakeholders to access volleyball related information more swiftly. I am extending an invitation to our affiliates to submit newsworthy items for possible inclusion in our news letter.” He added.
