The next step is going to Kenya for more training.” “I hope they will achieve some experience while Kenya where we intend to play against top teams,” the former Kenyan international said. Bitok, who is a FIVB Level One coach with a Diploma in Sports Science from a University in Hungary, was awarded with the task of rebuilding Rwanda in volleyball structures as the country seeks to carve a niche in international and continental competitions. Bitok has two-years deal with the Rwanda Volleyball Federation (February, 2010-2012). Ends
