“We invited six under 21 boys, four under 21 girls and four under 19 girls.
“The board believes this is an opportunity to breed new set of beach volleyball national team players.
“If you look critically at the senior beach volleyball team, you will discover that some of these players also attended some international beach volleyball tournaments.
“This is an avenue to expose these younger players to different playing facility and equipment,” Daunemigha said.
