VOLLEYBALL Protus Soita appointed as new Volleyball Cranes head coach
Soita has predominantly coached women’s teams in the past, OBB Ladies and UCU Lady Doves being the most recent he has managed.
The men’s team have now seen their training for the action in Egypt suspended, with no clear position as to whether it will resume soon.
Sources close to the federation have, however, revealed that there is no money to take the team to Egypt and pulling out of the competition is the next step.
“It is very likely that the men’s team will not go to Egypt,” the source revealed.

BASKETBALL Silverbacks miss Pre-Olympic Qualifiers
Uganda was scheduled to face Mali on Monday before taking on Senegal the following day and ending the first phase in a clash with hosts Nigeria on Thursday.
Should the Cranes fail to make the trip, they will become the latest team to miss out on an international competition due to a lack of funding from the government.
The national senior men’s basketball team, Silverbacks, missed out on taking part in the Pre-Olympic Qualifiers in Lagos, Nigeria, for the same reasons.
The Volleyball Cranes are now scheduled to meet UVF President Sadick Nasiwu on Saturday and will find out whether they will make the trip.
By the time of calling off training, the team had held just one session under new head coach Protus Soita.
