After School Program in Bermuda

BERMUDA, April 2, 2018 - Each year the BVA is proud to work with the Department of Youth, Sport and Recreation to bring volleyball to Bermuda's primary schools! 

This initiative has the full support of NORCECA Volleyball Confederation as part of its development plan which includes promoting volleyball as mass sport in the schools.

The winter term After School Program showcase for volleyball was held on March 28, 2017 in BAA gym. The schools that participated were Elliot Primary, West Pembroke, Purvis and Port Royal and all the students demonstrated the various skills that they had been learning over the winter term which started on January 8th and culminated with the showcase.

Each school took part in a number of drills and activities which required them to use different volleyball skills such as bumping, setting, etc. All of the students showed great progress and proficiency throughout the event and we hope that the program has peaked these students interest in volleyball and that they continue to play in the future.

The BVA is thankful to all the coaches who helped each week at each school as well as the volunteers that assisted with the Showcase.   Our coaches included Caroline Robinson, Brady Cordeiro, Nasir Woodley, Dimitri Guglielmucci, Eron Woods, Sy McPeek, Layla Kurt, Olivia Hill and Kristen Douglas.  

Finally, special thanks to Keiran Hamilton for organizing this on behalf of the BVA!
