Chinese coaches to assist Jamaica in volleyball

KINGSTON, Jamaica, January 23, 2018 - The Government of Jamaica, though the Ministry of Culture, Gender, Entertainment and Sport, and the Government of China signed an agreement by which Coaches from China are in Jamaica lending technical support for volleyball. 

The coaches will be in Jamaica from January 12 to February 9, 2018, as it was informed by Ms. Jacqueline Cowan, General Secretary of Jamaica Volleyball Association.

The second phase of the agreement will see a select group of girls and coaches going to China, for two months in the summer, for extensive training.

Volleyball was chosen as one of the disciplines, as a Chinese contingent attended the Caribbean Championship held in Jamaica last July, and decided to add volleyball to the list of sports to benefit from the technical support.

The JaVA will be sending two of the recently certified female FIVB Level 1 coaches to China, who we are sure will benefit from the experience, as they are both active volleyball coaches in their schools.
