All matches would be played on Saturdays and would be governed by the rules from the Federation International de Volleyball (FIVB) of 2017 to 2019, with proper sanctions given to teams whose supporters would misconduct themselves.

Teams are not permitted to register players playing in other leagues to feature in the ERVA league.

The league, which was very active two to three seasons ago, was abandoned due to lack of sponsorship.

The Eastern Regional Volleyball Association, which is the official sponsor for this year’s league is calling on the corporate world and philanthropists to partner them to promote and raise standard of volleyball in the region.

Meanwhile, all participating teams are expected to pay GH¢ 200.00, as affiliation fees and the deadline for the registration is April 30.
