Cummings Lodge Secondary School students involved in volleyball sessions
Members of the Cummings Lodge Secondary School male and female cricket teams were recently involved in a volleyball session at the National Gymnasium. The sessions were conducted by Sports Officer Alistair Munroe who informed that the sport will be played within schools in Demerara in 2020.

“What I observed is that students have a lot of potential and I want to ensure that these talents are being harnessed properly so we did some work on serving the ball and play over the net,” said Munroe.
He noted that in Berbice there are school programmes being conducted by GVB President Levi Nedd and there are also plans to develop the sport in Essequibo.
“While I was with the students, I recalled when myself, Claude Maison and Tyrone Fields, who was as a part time volleyball coach at the Ministry of Education National Sports Development Council (NSDC), were actively involved in organising games, we also put together the first IGG team which defeated Suriname. So the young players here need to equip themselves with the technicalities of the sport and once given the exposure I am sure they will go places.”
