The Bank Windhoek Namibia Volleyball Federation (NVF) League, is in full swing as teams in the Central, Kavango, Far North, Erongo and Zambezi battle it out for top honours. This past weekend saw teams demonstrate their desire to be crowned champions in their respective leagues.
Central Volleyball League (CVL)
The pace was lifted in the CVL as the season nears its end. In the female category, Rivals Volleyball Club leads the log followed by Namibia Defence Force (NDF), Khomas NamPol and Deutscher Turn-und Sportverein (DTS) who are all tied.
In the male category, Khomas NamPol is top of the log, followed by NamPower with NDF and 21BDE edging closer. The weekend highlighted a titanic clash between the top two teams Khomas NamPol and NamPower with the latter emerging victorious as they defeated long term champion Khomas NamPol 3-2.
Kavango Volleyball Association (KVA)
The KVA League saw teams pick up speed in the second round.

UNAM Vipers currently top the table in the female category as well.
Far Northern Volleyball Association (FNVA)
Things look set in the FNVA league. In the women’s division defending champions, Oshana NamPol, top the table and have been crowned as the 2018 Far Northern Volleyball champions with a game in hand. The 2015 champions Six Stars are currently in top form after recording a nine game unbeaten run in the men’s division. They stand a good chance of being crowned champions in this division.
