Varadero welcomes fourth stop of NORCECA Beach Circuit
HAVANA, Cuba, May 8, 2019 - The international spa of Varadero
returns to host the Norceca Beach Volleyball Circuit for the
ninth consecutive year when the fourth phase takes place in the
sands adjacent to the Barceló Solymar hotel from May 10 to 12.
Mireya Luis, methodologist of the Cuban Volleyball Federation
and main organizer of the event since 2011, who inserted the
island in this journey, reported that the presence of 16 duets
of women and 18 of men is expected.
«The quality will be guaranteed, which mainly benefits the
players who are preparing for the 2019 Pan-American Games in
Lima, in which Cuba will fight for a decent performance after
winning the women’s silver and men's bronze in Toronto 2015.»
The vice president of the FIVB and the Executive Committee of
the North, Central American and Caribbean Confederation, said
that although the medalists in the continental contest in
Toronto, Leila and Sergio, will attend this cycle with new
couples, she hopes that the local representatives will fight
side by side with adversaries from countries such as the United
States, Mexico, Argentina and Canada.
A novelty will characterize this stop at Playa Azul, "there will
be games in the morning until noon and after seven in the
evening, we prepare all the conditions with a working team that
performs those tasks on the beautiful stage. Thus they will have
the opportunity to witness the game those who cannot do it
during the day," said from the venue who was one of the best
hall players in the world, three times Olympic champion.
Cuba will be represented by two pairs in each gender, led by
Maylen Deliz-Leila Martínez, three golds in equal outings in
this season 2019, and Sergio Gonzalez and Luis Enrique Reyes,
bronze, silver and gold in that order in Aguascalientes, Cayman
Islands and Nicaragua in its debut as an international duo.
