We are glad to host the KAVC awards on 30th January 2015 at Lugogo as we remain committed to championing better community health and behavior through sports with volleyball as the vehicle of choice.
KAVC since it’s inception has been recognizing outstanding individuals or collective accomplishments in one way or another but largely informally. Perhaps, Masaba explains why this time round, the event is special;
We have decided to reserve one day each year, to celebrate the efforts of each and every member as well as our associates in regard to the progress or completion of a previous season
The 2015 Awards therefore make start of a continuous cycle.
KAVC, the only men side coached by a lady, Shilla Omuriwe, recently became the 5 time record league winners.
Some of the awards lined up include the legendary award (KAVC Hall of Fame) – many have rumored will without question be handed to the club’s founding pillar – Neko Muduse Ojala, now with Nemostars Volleyball Club.
