Volleyball to be staged outdoors

JAKARTA (JP): The Indonesian Volleyball Federation (PBVSI)
will kick off a talent scouting project aimed at popularizing
volleyball among the general public, newly installed PBVSI
chairwoman Rita Subowo said on Monday.

"Many people want to play volleyball but they have
difficulties finding an indoor court. With this project, we will
encourage people to play outdoor volleyball. Hopefully, a good
volleyball athlete will emerge," she said.

Rita said Gen. Pamoedji would take command of the project
which would be launched here. She, however, failed to date the
launch.

Chairman of the National Sports Council Wismoyo Arismunandar
installed the new PBVSI officials here on Monday. Besides Rita,
the new officials include secretary-general Sutardiono, his
deputy Kamli Rukmana and treasurer Arini Sukarto. National Police
chief Lt. Gen. Rusdihardjo heads PBVSI's advisory council.(ivy)
