THE Zimbabwe Volleyball Association (ZVA) conducted the second edition of its strategic planning meeting held at a Harare hotel at the weekend.

The two-day workshop facilitated by the Confederation of Sports (INF)’s Pelle Kvalsund from Norway was attended by ZVA executive members, provincial representatives, coaches, players and National Association of Primary Heads (Naph) and National Association Secondary Heads (Nash) representatives.

ZVA secretary-general Tawanda Sithole said the meeting was a follow-up to the first edition that took place in October 2016.

“The association continued with its strategic planning process as the organisation works towards improving its performance. We were focusing on three main things, administration, competition and technical aspects of the sport. We believe that this will help us achieve our targeted goals within the specified time frames as we hope to map our way forward. We would like to express our gratitude for the support we got from NIF and Zimbabwe Olympic Committee (ZOC) in putting together our plan,” said Sithole.

He said the meeting also provided opportunities to reflect on some areas that need polishing in volleyball.

“This plan helps to set direction for the ZVA to influence our decisions so that we can strengthen our organisation, develop the sport of volleyball and find a way to connect the many communities which share a passion for the sport. We have a tight calendar ahead and we hope to implement all the outcomes of the meeting in all our activities,” he said.

The last part of the workshop will be conducted on March 3.
