| For the first time ever, the Metropolitan LVA League awards will take place in February |
Finally, Lesotho’s volleyball players
will have something to look toward to with news the Lesotho Volleyball
Association (LVA) will hold its first-ever league awards on February 24.
The awards will be for both men and
women players in the Metropolitan LVA League and will be awarded for the 2017
season which ended last November.
According to LVA public relations
officer Buller Phalatsi, the prizes that will be up for grabs are: the best setter,
best attacker, best blocker, best defender, best receiver, most improved team,
most valuable player and team of the year.
“An SMS line will be launched whereby
the public will vote for their favourite stars and teams,” Phalatsi explained. “The
awards will enhance our league’s competiveness in that they will encourage the
teams to work hard to be the best at the end of each and every season.”
“The awards are most definitely going to
encourage the teams to do better in the coming season in order for them to be
the biggest winners (when the end of season awards are held),” he added.
Phalatsi said increased levels of
competition in the local league would only help local teams when they compete
internationally.
2017 Metropolitan LVA league champions
Redskins, for example, are gearing up for the 2018 African Volleyball
Championship after their third place finish at last month’s African Zone 6 Club
Championships which were held in Zimbabwe.
It will be the first time Lesotho has a
contestant at the continental tournament since 2011.
The 2018 African Volleyball Championship
will be held in Cairo, Egypt from March 27 to April 5.
