Elishama Elam, the Head Coach of Nigeria\u2019s U-19 Girls Volleyball Team, on Sunday released a list of 14 players to represent the country at the upcoming 2022 Girls U-19 African Nations Volleyball Championship.<\/p>\n<\/header>\n

\n

Nigeria hosts the Championship which will serve off on Tuesday at the Moshood Abiola National Stadium<\/strong><\/a> in Abuja.<\/p>\n

The coach will be assisted in the crew by Tina Azomani from Delta Force Volleyball Team and the new Technical Adviser of the Nigeria Volleyball Federation (NVBF)<\/a><\/strong> Alexander Boskovic from Serbia.<\/p>\n

Coach Elam said the best players were selected after two months of camping and training at Ahmadu Bello Stadium (ABS) in Kaduna State.<\/p>\n

According to him, the players are ready to make Nigeria proud at the championship, adding that the team was fully prepared for any team.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter six weeks of preparations, we are ready for the 2022 Girls\u2019 Under 19 African Nations Volleyball Championship. The girls have been active throughout this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of them played at the National Division 1 League; others played in several invitational championships, including beach championship.\u201d<\/p>\n

The coach was in charge of the Nigeria Under 19 Girls when Cameroon defeated them in three games.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis will not repeat itself again. Nigeria is better prepared and will put in her best at this year\u2019s championship.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the coaching crew is the new Technical Adviser, Alex Boskovic and I am sure his tactical experience will be the joker for the country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He named the full squad to include Miriam Usman and Aishat Abdulraheem from Chief of Naval Staff (CNS) Spikers; Christiana Laban from Plateau Rock.<\/p>\n

Blessing Unekwe from Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Mary Gana from Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Naomi Yaro and Marvelous Chilota from Kada Emeralds.<\/p>\n

Charity Joseph from Niger Raven, Gift Michael , Verity Onyegwu from the Queen VC, Ifeoma Mordi, Deborah Chukwua and Sarah Ali from Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Spikers and Joy Owoniyi from Phoenix.<\/p>\n

The Championship is expected to kick off on Tuesday at the Moshood Abiola Stadium in Abuja and will end on Sept. 10.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
