The 2010 Harare Volleyball League roared into life last weekend with eight teams competing in both men and womens categories.
It has been a good development to have two more teams coming on board in the ladies league. We are trying to develop it more and have schoolgirls involved in a developmental league so that we give them a chance to keep playing the sport they love after school, Sithole said.
With the mens competition we are already on stage three in terms of development. We are looking at having an Under-19 competition as we already have a Division One league.
