Pada ketika yang sama, En. Billy Lee dipilih sebagai Pengarah Teknikal, Asia Oceania Volleyball for Disabled (AOCVD) dalam Mesyuarat Agung pertamanya pada 31 Oktober 2003.
On 31 October 2003, Mr Billy Lee was elcted as the Technical Director of the Asia Oceania Volleyball for Disabled (AOCVD) in their inaugural General Assembly.
Sejak itu, usaha untuk memantapkan sukan para bola tampar giat dijalankan di Malaysia. Usaha untuk menubuhkan Persatuan Kebangsaan telah mengharungi pelbagai halangan disebabkan oleh kerana kurang pengetahuan dan persefahaman berkenaan sukan untuk orang kurang upaya. Permohonan penubuhan persatuan bermula pada tahun 2005 dengan ‘Persekutuan Bola Tampar Paralimpik Malaysia’ ditolak. Walau bagaimanapun, En. Billy tidak berputus asa dan meneruskan usahanya untuk mendapat pengiktirafan. Hanya pada tahun 2010, Persatuan Bola Tampar OKU Malaysia mendapat kelulusan daripada Pesuruhjaya Sukan Malaysia. En. LAM SONG SHEN menjadi Presiden pertama sehingga kini. (2010-kini)
Since then, more effort was made to establish the sports of para volleyball in Malaysia. The move to set up a national body to regulate the sports encountered many challenges due to the ignorance and lack of knowledge of sports for people with disabilities. The initial application to register ‘Malaysia Paralympic Volleyball Federation’ was rejected. However, this did not deter Mr. Billy and it was only in 2010 that the Malaysia Disabled Volleyball Association was eventually registered officially with the Sports Commissioner of Malaysia. The first President of MDVA was Mr. LAM SONG SHEN till this present day. (2010-now).
