After School Program in Bermuda
BERMUDA, April 2, 2018 - Each year the BVA is proud to work with
the Department of Youth, Sport and Recreation to bring
volleyball to Bermuda's primary schools!
This initiative has the full support of NORCECA Volleyball
Confederation as part of its development plan which includes
promoting volleyball as mass sport in the schools.
The winter term After School Program showcase for volleyball was
held on March 28, 2017 in BAA gym. The schools that participated
were Elliot Primary, West Pembroke, Purvis and Port Royal and
all the students demonstrated the various skills that they had
been learning over the winter term which started on January 8th
and culminated with the showcase.
Each school took part in a number of drills and activities which
required them to use different volleyball skills such as
bumping, setting, etc. All of the students showed great progress
and proficiency throughout the event and we hope that the
program has peaked these students interest in volleyball and
that they continue to play in the future.
The BVA is thankful to all the coaches who helped each week at
each school as well as the volunteers that assisted with the
Showcase. Our coaches included Caroline Robinson, Brady
Cordeiro, Nasir Woodley, Dimitri Guglielmucci, Eron Woods, Sy
McPeek, Layla Kurt, Olivia Hill and Kristen Douglas.
Finally, special thanks to Keiran Hamilton for organizing this
on behalf of the BVA! |
