But when a player makes a perfect reception, saves a difficult ball, or digs an almost impossible attack, the reaction can be completely different. Why is the spike gettin

Every volleyballer has been there. Work piles up, school resumes, injury keeps you out, or life simply gets in the way and before you know it, weeks have passed since you last touched a ball. Then comes the moment you finally walk back onto the court, ready to pick up where you left off. Except your body has other plans. Here’s exactly what happens when you return to volleyball after weeks away, and how to handle it without setting yourself back further. 1. Your Timing Goes F

Inside Cooperative Villas Estate, Badore-Ajah, under Eti-Osa Local Government, a volleyball club has been quietly turning a shared passion into a community since 2019. That is where you will find Cooperative Villas Volleyball Club (CVVC), founded by Mr. Felix Anikpo, and built, year by year, into one of the Island’s most consistent grassroots clubs.

Nigeria's eighth-place finish at the African Men's Nations Volleyball Championship has reignited concerns about preparation. While the team showed resilience and potential, building a competitive national side requires far more than a short pre-tournament camp. For Nigerian volleyball to consistently challenge for continental honours, preparation must become a year-round priority.

CAVB has recognised the Nigeria Volleyball Federation ahead of LA 2028, while Engineer Habu Gumel was honoured for his contribution to volleyball.

Your club might have incredible players, a great coach and serious talent. But here's the question: does anyone outside your training ground know? In today's sports world, being good isn't always enough. Visibility matters.

Volleyball has official rules, but every player knows there are also a few unwritten rules you learn once you start playing. 1. Call the ball! 📢 If you’re taking it, say “Mine!” Don’t assume your teammate knows. 2. Don’t blame your teammate for one mistake. They missed the receive? Shanked the ball? It happens. Next ball. 3. Celebrate your teammates. A good block, a crazy save, or a perfect set deserves a reaction. Energy spreads across the court. 4. Respect the person keepi
