A look back at the VBC (Volleyball Crush) In-House Volleyball Tournament Every volleyball tournament has a story. There are teams preparing to compete, players stepping onto the court, points to be won, and a final result that determines who takes home the bragging rights. The VBC In-House Volleyball Tournament brought six teams together for a round-robin competition, giving them the opportunity to compete against one another. When the tournament concluded, Thunder Spikers em

Everybody wants to spike. But who wants to receive, defend, and do the dirty work? Watch a volleyball match, and you will notice something interesting. When the ball goes up for an attack, everybody watches. A powerful spike that lands inside the court gets cheers, celebrations, and sometimes even a replay. 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. From One Man’s Vision to a Growing Community CVVC did not start with a packed roster or a polished setup. It started with Mr. Fe

Every great volleyball story starts somewhere unglamorous. A patch of concrete, a few committed players, and a refusal to quit. For Access Spikers, that story is unfolding right now on Moniaya Road in Ogoja, Cross River, at the Thomas McGetrick Institute of Management Technology, just a short walk from St. Benedict Cathedral. What’s happening on that court deserves far more attention than it’s currently getting and that’s exactly why we’re telling it. A Club Carved out From t

Lagos doesn’t have one volleyball scene, it has dozens of them, scattered across every axis of the city. From university sport centres to estate fields, stadium courts to police barracks, the game is being played every single day somewhere in this city, often by people who have no idea a club exists five minutes from their house. This week, we are mapping it all out. Below is a full, zone-by-zone breakdown of some volleyball clubs across Lagos and where they play/train. Wher

The Nigerian Volleyball League needs more sponsors to support private clubs, grassroots development and the continued growth of volleyball in Nigeria.

Picture this: a national league championship, real stadium, real referees, real talent scouts watching from the sidelines and the person quietly footing the bill isn't a sponsor, isn't the government. It's the federation president himself, reaching into his own pocket because nobody else showed up to fund the game. That's not a hypothetical. That's the honest, on-record reality of Nigerian volleyball right now. And once you understand how the money actually flows or doesn't

Stand close enough to a volleyball court during warm-ups and you'll start noticing things a casual fan never clocks. Why does that outside hitter roll her waistband down twice before every set? Why is the libero the only one on the team in full-length leggings when it's thirty-four degrees outside? Why does one middle blocker tape his ankles over his socks instead of under them? None of this is random. On a volleyball court, clothing isn't styling, it's equipment. Every seam,
