International Level II Seminar began in Tijuana

 

   

TIJUANA, Mexico, October 21, 2015 - The International Level II Seminar for Volleyball Coaches was officially inaugurated at the FIVB Development Center in Baja California.

 

The opening ceremony took place with presence of two prominent instructors with extensive coaching experience such as Brazilian Antonio Neto Rizola and Cuban Jorge Perez Vento.

 

For 11 days the attendants will have the chance to upgrade their knowledge in terms of preparing teams and strategies.

 

On behalf of the Sports Institute General Director, Saul Castro Verdugo, the High Performance Cirector, Cesar Osuna Brambila, welcomed all the participants.

 

Along with Osuna, some of the Sports Institute authorities who were present at the ceremony were Jorge Almada, Promotion and Image Director, as well as FIVB Member and Development Center Coordinator, Alberto Arreola.

 

Representatives from eight countries, such as Argentina, Belize, Costa Rica, Cuba, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Mexico and Trinidad and Tobago began their preparation.

 

"We appreciate the presence of all of you who are part of the great family of volleyball, we are confident that you will get the best from this course here, where we have two prominent personalities with great international experience," explained Osuna Brambila.

 

"We have a person who has been a major figure in volleyball, and considered one of the best setters in a world championship, and also was an Olympic medalist in the 1976 Montreal Games," Osuna said about the experience of Perez Vento, who had previously worked in Baja California when he came to prepare some young players who are part of the state program.

 

"We also have a great friend who has been characterized as a great manager, coach and a leader in Brazilian volleyball like Antonio Rizola. We have had a major international exchange to send our selected teams to Saquarema" he added.

 

The activities are both theoretical and practical. The seminar will culminate on November first. This is the third international course held in 2015 at the Baja California center, after the one that took place during the Norceca meetings in January, and the Level I Seminar, held last May.
