They are topping the chart after the 4th day of play winning all their matches.
The national volleyball championship entered its 4th day of play last week end in Bafia, with Bafia Evolution volleyball clubs still leading the dance in the female category. The young club created to revolutionise Cameroonian basketball has won all four matches. The club has 18 points and has won 27 of the 28 sets played, loosing only one set since the beginning of the championship. Bafia Evolution is trailed by AES-Sonel with 17 points in four matches and INJS is third with 15 points.
In the men category, AES-Sonel is topping the classification table with 20 points after 12 matches. Followed by another old name in volleyball, FAP Yaounde with 20 points also but have played only 11 matches. Port volleyball club is third with 17 points.
The performance of Bafia evolution is worth praising given that the club was created just over two years ago. Their first stride in the championship was in 2007 and they grabbed the championship title against a volleyball giant, FAP, winning all the three sets of the match. The club was to go ahead and win the Cup of Cameroon in the same year. The club has only 12 players, all students with their ages ranging from15 to 27. The club was created by two Cameroonians; Laviosier Yende and Serge Abouem, who were inspired to create a training centre for the nurturing of volleyball talents after taking part in a training camp in Europe with the national volleyball team. The initiators are in the process of setting up a second volleyball training centre in Bafia in order to increase competition among the players to enable them improve on their skills.
