Mini-Volley Fest in Santo Domingo a huge success
SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic, December 8, 2013 – The FIVB/NORCECA
Regional Development Center in the Dominican Republic in
cooperation with the Santo Domingo Volleyball Association
organized a mini-volleyball festival during the weekend.
Fifty-five teams of both genders from clubs and public and
private schools of the Dominican Republic’s capital took part in
the successful event. The competition was for boys and girls up
to 12 years old.
“The kids had a great time and the opportunity to put in
practice the practical and theoretical instructions received
during the summer from the physical education teachers who have
been trained in the Development Centre,” Angel Rivas, president
of the Association, said.
“It was also very inspiring to see the children enjoying playing
volleyball and taking the chance to make new friendships, which
is one of the main purposes of this initiative,” Rivas added.
At the end of the festival, the Development Center presented
each team with a ball and a complete set of nets.
All the coaches taking part in the Level II Course, currently
underway with the supervision of FIVB Instructors Argelio
Hernandez of Cuba and Juan Cartagena of Puerto Rico, attended
the festival and took advantage to learn about the organization
process of the activity.
The Mini-Volleyball Festival, the seventh organized in Santo
Domingo, concluded the working program of the Development Center
in Dominican Republic for the year 2013. |
