VOLLEYBALL PLAYER #8
Hi, I am Ajay. My volleyball journey began during my 12th standard in my hometown, Moolachal, where the local ground was alive with senior and experienced players whose skills and dedication deeply inspired me.
Aspiring to reach their level, I started intensive volleyball training right after my 12th exams, skillfully balancing it with the thrill of embarking on a new life phase. In my hometown, attackers dominated, but as a tall player, I identified a need for strong setters—my district lacked them—creating my perfect opportunity to excel.
I committed fully to the setter role, enrolled at St. Xavier's Catholic College of Engineering (SXCCE) in Nagercoil for studies, and every evening hurried home for grueling practice sessions and matches that sharpened my core skills.
Upon finishing my UG degree, Mr. Alson, the esteemed coach, summoned me for trials at Noorul Islam Centre For Higher Education (NICHE), Kumaracoil. Hungry for growth, I joined their PG program via sports quota, excelling under his mentorship with relentless training and effort.
This period marked my rise: selections for youth state championship, C.M. trophies as setter, All India University, a valued Form-3 certificate, and numerous matches that enhanced my tactics, experience, and poise.
Abinaya Global Business Hub recognized my talent in these events, offering a team position that merged pro volleyball with career prospects—a true milestone. Today, I play for them with unwavering commitment, channeling passion into every set, spike, and win, as volleyball shapes my identity through resilience, teamwork, and endless progress toward national glory.
