Volleyball Promotional Tour keeps going in Costa Rica

 

   

TURRIALBA, Costa Rica, September 25, 2015 – The Promotional Tour of Volleyball Grassroots Clinics across Costa Rica made a stop in Turrialba following visits to Liberia, Grecia and Abangares as the program to encourage children of both genders to practice the sport continues with remarkable results.

 

The program created by the Costa Rican National Volleyball Federation, has the support and collaboration of NORCECA Confederation.

 

After many years of producing volleyball players of high quality besides agricultural and dairy products, volleyball fell into oblivion and just a handful of players came out of the sugar region of Turrialba until this initiative of the Costa Rican Volleyball Federation has sparked the local association to go back to its roots.

 

With the speech by the president of the National Federation, Edgar Alvarado Ardon, about the importance of initiation in the sport at a young age, the participants showed interest to start developing new talents from Turrialba to convert the region into a pipeline to feed future national teams of volleyball.

 

The current president of Turrialba Youth Volleyball Club Mario Romero Tortos, is a young native of the area who is battling to captivate kids and youngsters and get them in love with the sport that once was the most popular in the region.

 

Romero Tortos studied at the School of Sciene of Human Movement at University of Costa Rica and has put his experience in volleyball and education to the service of game.

 

For Henry Rodriguez, director of the grassroot volleyball, the development of new talents will serve to fill up the teams and future national selections as he is of the opinion that building the future is a key to compete with possibilities of achieving success.

 

Alvarado Ardon announced the upcoming stops of the development clinics where boys and girls will enjoy having facilities to play volleyball.

 

The clinics will take place in Hatillo, San José (October 18), Santa Bárbara, Heredia (October 24), Neily, Puntarenas (October 31), Aserri, San José (November 8) and Guácimo, Limon (November 28).
