CBSE Cluster IX Volleyball Tournament: Around 2000 volleyball players, representing leading CBSE Schools from Maharashtra, Goa, Daman, Diu and Dadra Nagar Haveli, will be in Mumbai to participate in the CBSE Cluster IX Volleyball Tournament, which will be organised by the MVM International School, Andheri, from August 20 to 22.

The tournament will be concurrently held at the 5 indoor courts of Andheri Sports Complex, as well as at the MVM International School campus.

The Mogaveera Vyavasthapaka Mandali (MVM) – Mumbai, an educational institution with a rich legacy of community service, education and cultural preservation, has taken on the responsibility of hosting this prestigious event, being held for the first time in Mumbai.

This year, over 2000 students from Maharashtra, Goa, Daman, Diu, Dadra and Nagar Haveli - the CBSE Cluster IX zone - have registered on the CBSE portal for volleyball, making this one of the most significant regional school sporting events of the year.
