Jamaica Volleyball Association start intensive program

KINGSTON, Jamaica, May 27, 2022 - After being dormant for over 2 years the Jamaica volleyball scene has erupted with activities. Since the beginning of the year the Jamaica Volleyball Association (JaVA) started things off with a series or practice matches, in March, to test club engagement and its capacity to stage volleyball events.  

Jamaica participated in a Beach Volleyball World Championship qualification tournament in the women’s category. The JaVA then staged a One Day Club Rally in April and has been consistently sending teams, both men and women, to participate in the current 2022 NORCECA Beach Volleyball Tour (Cuba and Mexico so far) . 

While activities have restarted on the beach as well as on the court, the National Indoor programs were hit a significant blow as tournaments and teams have been out of commission for over 2 years. Based on the current international schedule for Jamaica, Senior Team tournaments are scheduled for 2023. 

To stay active and ahead of the curve, the coaching and management staff of the Jamaica’s Senior Women Volleyball Team saw it prudent to stage a weekend of volleyball and volleyball related activities to get a sense of where the squad is at to help chart the way forward for the players, coaches and managers.  

The weekend of activities will be from June 16-21, 2022 and is to help develop and deliver an experience that is rewarding and beneficial to the long-term growth and objectives of the Senior Women Volleyball Program.  

The weekend will be used to assess the level of ‘player readiness’ by determining general fitness, strength and individual skill levels before return to a high level of play. The weekend’s events will promote and showcase the sport of volleyball to our various stakeholders.  

The JaVA hopes to attract other entities to partner with to assist with goals of the Senior Women’s Volleyball Team as well as other teams and volleyball related activities in Jamaica. Plans are underway for a similar event with the Senior Men’s Volleyball Team. Further announcements will be made leading up to the event.
