NSSU ready to host Cossasa games

Namibia Schools Sports Union (NSSU) national coordinator, Solly Duiker, says they are ready to host this year's Confederation of School Sport Associations of Southern Africa (Cossasa) Ball Games.Duiker confirmed that a delegation of participating countries will be in Namibia over the weekend to assess the country's readiness to host the championship. “All our teams have been finalised; it's only tennis that needs to be finalised, as the players are selected based on their ranking,” he said. Duiker said the national sevens rugby team that finished second at the just-held 2018 African Youth Games in Algeria will also represent the country. Other sport codes only have small touch-ups to make to their squads selected for the National Youth Games in May and The Namibian Newspaper Cup that was hosted in the Zambezi Region, he said. “We currently don't have the finances to host trials, but this coming weekend we will be hosting special trials for athletes that regional coaches think deserve to be looked at, so they can form part of the different squads,” Duiker said.The possible venues for the games are the Namibia Football Association (NFA) Technical Centre, the Independence Stadium, Windhoek Gymnasium, DHPS, DTS, Sport Klub Windhoek and the Israel Patrick Iyambo Police College. The codes athletes will compete in during the ball games are football, basketball, netball, hockey, volleyball, cricket, tennis and rugby.NAMPA
