TIJUANA, Mexico, December 29, 2015 - The Baja California High
Performance Center has become an important site for national

This week prior to New Year’s Eve, the teams of Colombia and
Dominican Republic began a concentration prior to the Olympic
Qualifier tournaments in their respective continental
confederations.
The Dominican team, whose players and coaches are already well
known in the region for their protagonic role during Pan Am Cups
and Continental Championships, expect to get their best of this
training camp as the NORCECA competition that gives one ticket

the Pan American Cup tournament and after participating at the
FIVB Grand Prix in 2015, will also prepare and work hard in this
