Trinidad & Tobago stages Grassroots course
LAUSANNE, Switzerland, May 28, 2014 – The recently concluded
Grassroots Beach Volleyball Course conducted by the FIVB in
collaboration with the Trinidad & Tobago Volleyball Federation (TTVF)
resulted in 13 participants receiving certificates.
Held at the Central Regional Indoor Sports Arena (classroom
sessions) and Saith Park (practical sessions) from May 12 to 15,
topics included attacking skills, defensive skills and rules, as
well as learning to officiate.
The FIVB Instructor for Beach Courses, Mrs. Claudia Laciga,
previously represented Brazil. She encouraged the participants
to “keep at the sport, practice and develop the skills that were
learnt throughout the course and to get rid of the lazy,
laid-back attitude.”
She also indicated her interest in seeing the participants
representing Trinidad & Tobago in the various world
competitions.
The course concluded on May 16 with a final-day tournament
organized by the participants at Maracas Bay.
At the end of the tournament, Trinidad & Tobago Youth Olympian
team Chelsi Ward and Malika Davidson were the female champions
while the men’s section was won by Waldo Phillips (youth U21
beach athlete) and none other than Claudia Laciga. |
