US Olympian Sponcil sets up beach volleyball courts in Narok schools
American beach volleyball Olympian Sarah Sponcil (centre) enjoys a traditional dance with Morijo dancers during her visit to Morijo and Loita Mixed Secondary School in Narok on May 12, 2023.
While the two institutions had the knowledge of conventional volleyball, they had no idea of beach volleyball and they would be forgiven for lack of exposure due to the nomadic nature of the Maasai community
Sponcil, 26, said it’s unfortunate that the students had the potential but lacked facilities
Kenya national women's beach volleyball team players Gaudencia Makokha, Brackcides Agala and Veronica Adhiambo, who are accompanying Sponcil in her trip to Kenya, called on the teachers and parents to support their children's talents
Perhaps students from Morijo and Loita Mixed Secondary School from Narok County would not have known what beach volleyball is, were it not for US Olympian Sarah Sponcil's visit.
While the two institutions had the knowledge of conventional volleyball, they had no idea of beach volleyball and they would be forgiven for lack of exposure due to the nomadic nature of the Maasai community.
