Victor Tetteh, Regional Secretary

Regional Secretary of the Volta Association, Victor Tetteh was happy to have seen the love for the sport back to the region.

“Volta went to sleep for a while due to some issues beyond our control. We are happy to be back and we will begin slowly and pick up all we lost in the past years. The course has been successful hugely because we had a good facilitator. The boys and girls even enjoyed it more than the trainers and we will really build up upon this.”

After 3 years of absence, Volta Cricket is back and would love to revamp that spirited nature of players and coaches. The last time Volta organized something in Cricket was the U-15 boys and girls league held at the Ho Sports Stadium in April, 2019.

Once upon a time in 2015, Volta cricket was adjudged the most active region and was awarded with a plaque at an Annual General Meeting of the Ghana Cricket Association.
