Shridhaan continues family legacy in Namibia
July 16, 2025
|Post
TEENAGER Shridhaan Lahldas from Tongaat was one of the youngest players in the SA Under-19 volleyball squad that made it to the recent final at the Region 5 Games in Namibia, continuing the family legacy in the sport.
The 16-year-old specialist setter is the son of former national team star Ryaan “Spits” Lahldas, who led SA to many great conquests on the continental stage. Olympic participation is one of the few omissions of his stellar career.
Shridhaan got his first taste of the continental stage at the Region 5 Games, and it left him wanting more.
“Region 5 this year was my first international experience. The level of volleyball is quite significant compared to volleyball in South Africa.
“It taught everyone a lot of new things and how competitive the sport could really be,” the Grade 11 pupil at Seatides Combined School told POST on his return.
“In the semifinals we faced off with Malawi. In the first two sets we were down and then came one of the best comebacks in Region 5 as we ended up beating them 3-2 in a five-set thriller.
