At the same time, Kenya Roll Ball Federation treasurer Ephraim Waruhiu revealed that they are looking to host the junior championships at the Juja Preparatory School on October 29.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have the projected African Championships in Senegal this November before proceeding to the World Cup in January,\u201d Waruhiu said.<\/p>\n

Waruhiu also said the federation is hoping they will start hosting junior international championships in 2024 with an aim of nurturing young talent.<\/p>\n

He said they have started introducing the sport in primary schools and have been in talks with the Ministry of Education to ensure their mission is successful.<\/p>\n

He said they are planning national championships for the juniors in December but they are yet to decide on the dates.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo ensure continuity in the sport, we have started doing rounds in primary schools. We are also planning for national junior championships in December…precise dates will be communicated,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Waruhiu said they are facing some challenges as far as equipment and finance are concerned. He narrated how clubs would miss national leagues due to a lack of transport.<\/p>\n

\u201cFacilitation in logistics during national leagues and inadequate equipment remains to be our greatest challenges,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He narrated how Kenya adopted the sport in 2010 and was granted the right to host the 2013 World Cup. At the moment, the women\u2019s team is ranked second in the world while the men are fourth.<\/p>\n
