SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic, June 8, 2016 – The U20 and
U18 Female National Volleyball Teams of Peru and Dominican
Republic have been training together and playing friendly
matches at the Volleyball Pavilion of the Juan Pablo Duarte
Olympic Center in Santo Domingo.
The Peruvian and Dominican Republic Federations have been
preparing their teams for the respective continental champions
of the age group categories to take place in the month of
August.
The coach of the junior team, former national team member
Cristian Cruz said his side has won the four matches against the
Peruvian opponents.
“In reality we are paying more attention to the evolution of our
athletes than to the results,” Cruz said.
He said the team will be traveling to Orlando Florida on June 20
to take part in an invitational tournament.
The girls youth team also have been playing friendly matches
against their Peruvian counterparts.
“The idea is to have playing opportunities and to check the
strengths and weaknesses of each squad,” Cruz added.
Alexander Ceccato, coach of the youth team, said the friendly
series and the training camp have been of benefit for both
squads. |
