Reviewing their final match, Franklyn said: “
All we needed was some adequate rest as you in
the beginning of the competition, we played
basically three matches in the less than 24
hours and that took a toll us”.
“ Placing fifth was not the position we
expected, because we were the defending
champions, but I see great things in the future
for the team, as most are under 25 , so just
have to regroup and come back stronger”, Frankly
proffered.
St Kitts and Nevis Head Coach- Richard Swan
“ It has been a learning experience for many of
these young guys that we have and they have
learnt… They have learnt how to take better care
of their bodies… They had two games in one day
and playing four matches in less than 36 hours
, but they fought had and we were able to gain
two wins from our five matches and that is
commendable for our team”, Swan reflected.
Bermuda’s Head Coach- Robert Saraiva

went out there and gave it their all and I am
proud of all of them”, Saraiva said.

played competitive Volleyball as a country in

back a brand of Volleyball over the years with
youths because the youths are the future … We
are building back… Throughout the region, there
is a rebranding of Volleyball as almost every
