Matan Nahmias, the national volleyball coordinator of the sports association: “As someone who grew out of the industry, starting from being a player in the school leagues and then even as a coach in the high school league, through the senior leagues until I became the national volleyball coordinator in the sports association for schools, this is exactly the spirit that motivates me with great love for volleyball. It is of utmost importance to be there and make sure that the next generation of volleyball grows up to be a professional and high-quality generation. The mere holding of the championships starting at young ages will preserve the high-quality Israeli volleyball that is so loved by many and many.”
