PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti, November 10, 2015 - A Beach Volley
Training course under the auspices of NORCECA and FIVB was held
from November 2-6, at the Olympic Center Sport for Hope, by FIVB
Instructor André Trottier.
This is Mr. Trottier’s second visit to Haiti with the first
dating back November 2014 when he taught an FIVB Refereeing
course.
Thirty-five players, coaches, physical education teachers,
coming from 12 towns throughout Haiti participated in the
course.
Towns represented were: Cap-Haitien, Port-Margot, Quartier
Morin, Bord de Mer de Limonade, Ouanaminthe, Mombin Crochu,
Hinche, Croix-des-Bouquets, Port-au-Prince, Petit Goave,
Miragoane, les Cayes.
The course comprised in-class sessions, held from 9:30 to 12:30,
during which videos of beach volleyball games that took place
during the 2012 London Olympic Games and the 2015 World
Championships were played for participants, and practical
sessions in the afternoon from 1:30 to 2:30.
According to participants, they greatly benefited from the
course which allowed them to learn the game’s techniques and
subtleties, since beach volleyball involves only two players per
team on a court measuring 8 meters by 8 meters.
Next steps: the organization of local beach volleyball
tournaments over the next few months. From these tournaments,
the National Federation will identify, among other things, the
best pairs who will represent Haiti at the NORCECA Beach
Volleyball Circuit in 2016. |
