The Indoor Volleyball Tournament aims to promote volleyball among young players, with no registration fees required for youth participants. Instead, the event was supported by sponsorships and fees from senior participants. This inclusive approach highlights community involvement and the development of young athletes, with dedicated volunteers working tirelessly to ensure the event’s success.
