Africa-Press – Botswana. <\/strong><\/span>Consisting of six men\u2019s and six women\u2019s, sides, Botswana\u2019s volleyball teams are gearing up for the Zone VI Club Championships that is scheduled to begin tomorrow (Thursday) and end on 17 December in Maseru, Lesotho.<\/b><\/p>\n

The men\u2019s teams are Kutlwano, the University of Botswana, BDF VI, Mag Stimela, Spiking Stars, and Police VI. In the women\u2019s section, Botswana will be represented by BDF VI, Mafolofolo, Spiking Stars, Police VI, Mag Stimela, and Kutlwano.<\/p>\n

According to the president of the Botswana Volleyball Federation (BVF), Tsoseletso Magang, there is much confidence in the teams after their participation in local competitions.<\/p>\n

Improvement<\/p>\n

\u201cThese teams were part of the Golden Cup tournament that ended a fortnight ago that we organised because of the Zone VI competition,\u201d she said in a telephone interview.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are happy because we saw improvement in terms of competition during this Cup tournament in both the players and the team.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shedding a light on the Golden Cup, Magang emphasised BVA\u2019s proactive approach in organising the event. \u201cWe took a decision that we would not just sit back simply because we could not find sponsors,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Hope for sponsors next year<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had to come up with a plan to ensure that the cup happens to keep volleyball active. It is good that the just-ended tournament happened.\u201d<\/p>\n

Looking ahead, Magang expressed hope for potential sponsors in 2024. \u201cWe continue pursuing potential financial supporters because we need them,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe funding we get from the government to support sport is very minimal. We hope to have sponsors for the league for next year.<\/p>\n

Club sponsorships<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the meantime, we will organise cup tourneys and sponsor them on our own to keep the players active because we want to breathe life into volleyball again.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe also encourage clubs to look for sponsors that can help run the respective clubs.\u201d<\/p>\n
