Omondi’s appeal prompts a discussion on outdoor volleyball, which is still contentious despite the popularity of indoor games. “Unfortunately, we are still debating the outdoor game,” said Omondi, stressing the continued use of open fields.
“I don’t know what our goal is for the outdoor game? We will to talk to the federation through our technical board to think about this matter carefully.
There is no volleyball outside other than beach volleyball. I don’t know why we keep playing outside when we can successfully do it indoors, and we’ve seen the benefits of playing indoors. taking our team to open fields is harmful to the development of the sport.”.
Players are exposed to various factors, including fluctuating weather conditions, poor lighting, and fluctuations in ball weight that can affect their performance while playing outdoors.
“The players are greatly affected by the weather, the light and the weight of the ball, which raises the question: why don’t we follow the international standard and swing from the opening in?” Aren’t we getting in the way?” Omondi asked..
He said the continuation of playing outdoor games would hinder the growth of volleyball in the country, especially as Kenyan teams seek to compete at the professional and international standard.
Omondi also emphasized the need to attract and keep supporters, noting that playing outdoor could discourage supporters.
“My request to the federation is that we should go inside. Baring in mind that are looking for sponsors, and with space inside they will not be exposed to stay in the sun.
“But there are few, go come to use. If we are going to the world, we will be professional..
There should be areas for beach volleyball, and all buildings should have indoor courts, especially universities in the country.
“Unfortunately, we are fighting with politicians to get houses. “Yes, they have the financial power, but we will do better.”
Omondi’s comments show that the growing need for the KVF to reform and invest in the league using an internal format.
It remains to be seen whether the Federation will agree to his request, but it is urgent for the future of Kenyan volleyball needs to change..
