Their involvement not only improves the quality of play but also contributes to the overall development of the league. Running a league without sponsors is undoubtedly challenging and, in my opinion, hinders the growth of the sport,\u201d Amakali said.<\/p>\n<p>He, thus, appealed to potential sponsors to come forward and support volleyball, emphasising the benefits it would bring to the athletes.<\/p>\n<p>Such support, he added, would not only enhance player development but also contribute to the quality of players available for the national team.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of the progress of the CVA league, Amakali said they have entered the second round and have witnessed an interesting season so far.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe league started well, and teams have displayed impressive skills. It is a highly-competitive league, with teams fighting for top honours. Currently, the NDF team is leading the log standings, having not lost a single match this season,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>In the men\u2019s category, NDF hold the top position with 44 points, followed by Khomas Nampol Volleyball Club (KNVC) in second place with 34 points.<\/p>\n<p>Afrocat C are in third position with 28 points, and NDF B occupy the fourth spot with a total of 25 points.<\/p>\n<p>In the women\u2019s category, Revival Volleyball Club (RVC) are at the top of the standings with 28 points.<\/p>\n<p>KNVC follow with 18 points, and Kudus hold the third position with the same number of points.<\/p>\n<p>Unam Queens secured fourth place with 12 points.<\/p>\n<p>Saturday\u2019s results:<\/p>\n<p>Men<\/p>\n<p>NDF A 3-0 CoW<\/p>\n<p>DTS 3-2 NDF B<\/p>\n<p>NDF A 3-1 Kudus<\/p>\n<p>DTS 3-0 Afrocat D<\/p>\n<p>NDF B 3-0 Afrocat D<\/p>\n<p>Women<\/p>\n<p>RVC 3-1 NDF<\/p>\n<p>NDF 3-2 Kudus<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/namibia\">Namibia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maurice Kambukwe Africa-Press &#8211; Namibia.
