Sports Organizing is the backbone of our confederation: Marte Hoffiz

TIJUANA, Mexico, January 10, 2015.- “The Sport Organizing Commission is the backbone of our institution,” said Norceca President Cristobal Marte Hoffiz during the opening of the works of the annual meeting celebrated at Grand Hotel Tijuana.

“I want to thank the Baja California Sports Institute, Mr. Saul Castro for receiving the members of our commission. We will also celebrate other meetings such as the ones for development, technical, coaches and beach volleyball,” Marte added.

One of the most important points during the beginning of the meetings was about development and participation of affiliated countries. “Norceca development is based upon participation and competition, this is the backbone of our institution”, he exposed.

“The most important thing is to coordinate the competition calendars. The Calendar is based in the participation of our international teams to have the chance to keep on working.”

Marte remembered how 14 years ago, a new strategy had just begun to develop and contribute to the growing of the national affiliated federations. “Norceca is not anymore an skeleton conferetation we are now respected internationally. So we have to work harder and harder,” Marte Hoffiz stated.

During the next congress of the confederation scheduled between the months of October and November, a seminar will take place.

“This will help us to evaluate every detail the impact of the federations development to really know were our federations were four years ago,” He explained.

In the same way, this situation will contribute to see how their ranking has improved. “What we don’t have with resources, we can compensate it with work,” the also FIVB First Executive Vice President stated.

Members of the South American Confederation have also attended, with the goal to coordinate the participation of teams in qualifying events for world level competitions as part of the Pan American Volleyball Union.

“It is important, because we do not always have the same kind of opportunities to play  against big level teams and this is a chance to get it,” He established.

Now the Norceca region teams when talking about the development plan, have the chances to participate against teams from South America like Argentina, Peru, Colombia, Venezuela, and Brazil.
