As the season gets underway, RRA hopes to buy a couple of players to replace those who departed including center Hope Musaniwabo, setters Iris Ndagijimana and Ernestine Akimanizanye, as well as right-attackers Claire Nishimwe and Christine Uwahoro.

The players in question joined with local clubs like APR and East African University.

"After losing key players, the team is looking for new ones in three positions. Currently, we have a number young players on the team but they are not experienced enough,” said RRA head coach Elia Mutabazi.
