In sport, these firm foundations are established with proper structures of talent tapping from the grass-roots level.

At this fragile grass-roots level, the players in the box are equipped with crucial skills, confidence, values of teamwork, diligence, commitment and mutual respect.

Judging from the recently held 2025 All Girls Volleyball championship at Namugongo Secondary and Vocational School, the future of volleyball among the females in Uganda is ripe and promising.

This championship had two clusters; the U-16 and U-21 with the players showcasing the outstanding skills in the volleyball sport.

The sweet services to roll off play, awesome reception, setting, reflexes to save stray balls, offensive moves and defensive blocks left far reaching impressions.
