The main objective of the study was to investigate the current practice and challenges of coaching volleyball sports in the case of some selected woredas volleyball project in Hadiya zone. To achieve this objective, Cross sectional survey method helps to have general understanding of the problem by studying the current status, nature of the prevailing conditions and trends through relevant and precise information. The research populations include volleyball coaches, sport administrator officer from Hadiya Zone and selected woredas and volleyball players. Total population are 95, were selected with purposive sampling. Four instruments such as questionnaire, interview, observation and document analysis were used to gather the data. The data was entered in to SPSS version 20. The descriptive analysis of the data was analyzed by using both qualitative and quantitative methods, such as frequency counts, percentage, mean, standard deviation and descriptive statements. The major findings of this study are; the coaches in the Zone are not well trained, the projects lack of interest of the trainer and coaches, facilities and equipment, scientific training methods and less attention given for the project, less emphasis given to the value of volleyball in general and in particular for projects, absence of transparent and accountable of administration, absence of long term and permanent fund for the projects and lack of sufficient volleyball courts in the area and less emphasis given to even the existing ones, limited number of coaches and even lack of professional competencies among them was also another core problem raised by the participants of the study. Based on the findings the following recommendations were suggested: The coaches who are assigned in the projects must be qualify their profession to identify the talent of the players, the concerned organ at zone and woredas level offices should establish clear and effective follow up, monitoring and evaluation procedures, allocate enough budgets which are needed for volleyball projects, facilitate regular capacity building trainings, especially more emphasis has to be given to upgrade the license for volleyball coaches at different levels.

Introduction

Volleyball is one of the most successful and popular competitive and recreational sports in the world. It is fast, it is exciting and the action is explosive. Yet Volleyball comprises several crucial overlapping elements whose complimentary interactions render it unique amongst rally games. In recent years the FIVB has made great strides in adapting the game to a modern audience. This text is aimed at a broad Volleyball public - players, coaches, referees, spectators, commentators - for the following reasons: Understanding the rules better, allows better play -coaches can create better team structure and tactics, allowing players full rein to display their skills; understanding the relationship between rules allows officials to make better decisions (Official volleyball rules 2017-2020).

According to IOC Sport Manual (2010) states that ; the support given by the public authorities and the technical and financial resources provided for sport development can vary widely depending on the political choices, level of development and priorities in different countries. Whereas sport contributes for government are obvious; creating socialization among societies, promote health and wellbeing individuals in a country through physically, mentally, socially and spiritually.

The negative effects of poor volleyball project management, which are the results of appointing project managers who lack sufficient knowledge and skills in the area of volleyball project management, are repeatedly raised by many individuals from the volleyball communities. This notion, which states that appointing volleyball managers who lack sufficient knowledge and skills in the area of volleyball project management is one of the major problems in the development of modern volleyball project in Ethiopia, has also been raised by volleyball journalists from both electronic and written mass media. Thus, it is not difficult to understand that there is no effective and modern volleyball project organization and management systems in most Ethiopian volleyball projects according to the above mentioned studies and personal career experiences.

The recent study indicated that, lack of annual budget, lack of empowerment of the profession , lack of training for the coach and referee in volleyball sport and the concerned

bodies give less attention to the sport instead of only thinking of football are some of the major problems that hinder the development of volleyball sport in the woreda. Even though the attitude of the community towards to volleyball sport in Hadiya zone Analemo and Gombora volleyball projects is great, the participant and the competition in the sport are lowered from time to time.

Objective

  • was also another core problem raised by the participants of the study. Hence, the number and their educational status have to be increased so that of interest volleyball projects can easily be achieved in Hadiya zone selected woredas.

Based on the findings of the study, the following are the possible recommendation followed:-

  • The coaches must prepare monthly and annual time table/schedule so as to carry out his/her task effectively and efficiently.
  • They should have to hold periodic athletics events/races so that they can measure the competences and weaknesses of the volleyball players who are being raised in the projects. They must also provide the athletes with special fitness training to complete fitness component.
  • Although it is beyond their capacity, coaches are expected to request and follow up additional regular training program in order to gain more knowledge in the volleyball projects.
  • Furthermore they must monitor and evaluate the overall performance of coaches, volleyball project players and so on; because, this action plays the way to produce strong & tough volleyball players in the entire projects of the zone. They have to provide the projects with facilities like necessary sport wearing &equipments that are available and other essential supplies on time; because absence of these items can pose strong negative impact on the projects.
  • The officers are expected to arrange & supply basic needs to the projects like neat water, Training field, technical aids and prepare additional training to the existing coaches.
  • They should have to prepare incentive/motives to the best performing project players and coaches so that they will even strive for a better achievements .In addition; they have to evaluate the periodic report of the coaches. This in turn aids to know the status of the players and the coaches in the projects.
  • The government should support volleyball projects through; material support, financial support, facilitating infrastructures, inviting Amateurs and like for the volleyball project challenges of coaching.
  • Lastly, lack of high grade positions and competitive salary are contributing a lot to the high turnover of sport professionals.
