Students from eight Primary Schools across the island had the opportunity to sharpen their volleyball skills on Monday, during the Primary School Volleyball Festival staged by the National Sports Council.

The floor at the Wildey Gymnasium was a hive of activity as the students immersed themselves in the basics of the game, under the watchful eyes of several coaches on a number of courts, while participating in a number of friendly drills and games.

NSC Volleyball coach Andrew Culpepper, said the objective of the event was to expose more players to the sport, at an earlier than normal age.
