Volleyball player earns scholarship in Kampala


FARU Volleyball Club player, Michael Ngong’e has landed a scholarship to study and play volleyball in Kampala, Uganda. Club’s Head Coach Nasoro Sharifu told the ‘Daily News’ yesterday that agreement has been reached with Kampala based Namugongo Secondary School for Ngong’e to join.

Sharifu said that Ngong’e will join Form Five to continue with studies at the school and at the same time, sharpen his volleyball skills there. He expressed his pleasure for the move, saying it was a big step for him (Ngong’e), his club and the country at large.

“I’m very happy for him, this is what I want to do for the game… working hard and achieve development goal, which can be attained by promoting and developing the game to the higher level,” Sharifu said.

The coach said that Ngong’e will be missed by his newly introduced team – Faru, which later this month will make their maiden appearance at Dar es Salaam Regional Volleyball Association (DAREVA) Senior League.

“Certainly, he will be missed, but we are much an organised team,” he said, adding that they are expecting to organise a farewell game for him before he leaves for Uganda. Faru Volleyball Club is under Nasoro Sharifu Volleyball Academy (NSVA), the centre which aims at developing the game from grass-roots. Most players forming Faru team are aged between 18-14.

They are Ezekiel Robinson, Nasoro Kisera (setter), Brayson Kaneja, Khalid Rashid, Joseph Justine, Malius Bugingo, Joseph Barnabas, Muksini Muhinga, Baraka Mabeyo, Innocent Nyambasu, Daniel Paul, Johannes Muhandiki, Charles Okore (all attackers) and two libero’s Rashid Mustapha and Ibrahim Hassan.

The team is under two coaches -- Sharifu and Abrahamu Magebo, trainers are John Galus and Edwin Smith, team ambassador Moshi Ally, while Robin Msigwa occupies media & equipment position. The academy that officially opened last August in the city, recruit talented youth both boys and girls.
