Plans are afoot to ensure that the national women’s volleyball team-Malkia Strikers play at least one build-up match in Kurume City before they fly out to Tokyo, for the Summer Olympic Games.
A half of coach Paul Bitok’s charges landed in Japan over the weekend with the second batch expected to link up with the rest for a first full-house training today.
Kenya are in a tough group that includes former Olympic champions Brazil, hosts Japan, South Korea and the Dominican Republic. Group B is composed of China, United States, Russia, Italy, Argentina and Turkey.
