Returning volleyball to schools, nurturing talent key for better results overseas -assistant national coach

Assistant national volleyball coach Ian Wills has said reinstating the sport into the school system as well as creating a strong developmental academy will help Guyana to perform better and be more successful in future overseas tournaments.

Wills spoke with Stabroek Sport on Friday following his return from Uruguay with the women’s team, which encountered difficulty during the recently concluded South American female tournament. “In another exposure of our weakness, the female national teams that wrapped up their campaign in the South American Beach Confederation Tournament were easily brushed aside by seasoned beach volleyball teams from Paraguay, Bolivia, Colombia and host Uruguay,” he said.

Wills said he believed a better feeder system should be put in place to help strengthen the active players.
