ST. CROIX, Virgin Islands April 9, 2015 – Volleyball is becoming
more and more popular in the Virgin Islands and a big boost came
about after the Senior Female National team enjoyed a remarkable
participation at the CAZOVA Championships in 2012 and the the
NORCECA World Championship Qualifiers in 2012 and 2013.
The Virgin Islands Volleyball Federation (VIVF) and its
president Lucille Hobson is no stranger to the new trend of the
sport in the country as the national volleyball governing body
continues to support the different programs developed by the
district associations and government agencies.
Recently, the VIVF donated to the St. Croix Interscholastic
Athletic Association (SCIAA), and all of the elementary schools
in the Virgin Islands the balls and sport equipment to be used
in the 12 and under elementary volleyball school league. The
equipment is a part of the Annual distribution to all of the
affiliated national federations of the North American, Central
American and Caribbean (NORCECA) Confederation, under the
leadership of President Cristobal Marte Hoffiz of the Dominican
Republic.
The league is being organized under the supervision of the SCIAA
President Desiree Miranda, and 1st Vice President of the VIVF
(1994 - present) who is implementing a program to enhance the
existing volleyball program in the elementary schools.
SCIAA Elementary Schools Volleyball Commissioner, Radiant Morris
and the league coaches received the donation presented by
Desiree Miranda, 1st Vice President of the VIVF.
Morris expressed her gratitude on behalf of the SCIAA saying “it
is a good initiative to spread out volleyball on the island.”
Miranda said that the VIVF has a development plan directed to
all the schools, national associations, clubs and territory
members that will benefit the growth of the national teams in
the different levels.
“We believe in opportunities and our plan is to support as much
as possible the national development programs,” Miranda said. |
