Those clubs are Castrol Strikers, Eagles Volleyball Club, Port Mourant Training Center and Young Achievers Volleyball Club. However, Competitions Committee member and national player Kristoff Shepperd, in an invited comment with this newspaper, revealed that the vision for the event is to have as much as 10 clubs participating next year with larger cash prizes.
This year, a total of $150,000 in cash prizes will be up for grabs with the teams battling for a top prize of $100,000 while the tournament MVP will cart off $50,000.
The GVF has announced that action will serve off at 09:15hrs sharp on Sunday and strict covid-19 protocols will be in place. In addition, the games will be live-streamed via the GVF Facebook page which has been customary at the last two tournaments.
Eagles Volleyball Club, which won the Demerara Volleyball Association ‘A’ Division title last month will enter this competition as the favourites but Shepherd revealed that he expects competition to be a bit more intense, especially since there is prize money up for the taking.
