VCP Beach Volleyball Course successfully rounded off in Vanuatu
The beautiful capital of Vanuatu, the Port Vila hosted a thriving Volleyball Cooperation Program (VCP) Beach Volleyball Course last week.
The VCP course was officially opened on last Monday, May 9 and it covered its length on the eighth day. The grassroots course welcomed both male and female coaches. A total of 25 coaches participated in the course, while the group included 16 male and 9
female coaches. The Wan Smol Bag Youth Centre in Port Villa facilitated the participants of the VCP Course.
The Vanuatu Volleyball Federation was the main organiser of this VCP Course. In this regard, the Federation International de Volleyball (FIVB) also collaborated with the local federation and provided them all sorts of support.
The International Volleyball Federation has always been keen to support local volleyball federations to work for the promotion of beach volleyball. The Volleyball Cooperation Program Beach Volleyball Course in Vanuatu was directed by Avelino Azevedo of Portugal.
He supervised the operations and monitored the on-going activities. Azevedo is the former FIVB International Beach Volleyball Player and currently attached with FIVB.
The equally efficient, President of Vanuatu Volleyball Federation Debbie Masaufakalo also played an important role in the administration of the VCP Course. She attended the opening ceremony of the course last week. Besides her, different other officials
of the Vanuatu Volleyball Federation were also there at the opening ceremony.
The Islands of Vanuatu are scheduled to host the upcoming Sub-zonal phase of the Asian Volleyball Confederation (AVC) Beach Volleyball Continental Cup in coming month.
Debbie Masaufakalo delivered a speech and emphasised the importance of such courses in the region.
She stated, “Especially when we are less than two weeks away of having our first international FIVB event in Vanuatu, the Sub-Zonal phase of the AVC Beach Volleyball Continental Cup Oceania Zone, a first natural consequence of other FIVB VCP courses.”
The VCP Course featured various theoretical and practical lessons for participants. It is expected that the participants will use their knowledge of the VCP Course in the upcoming AVC Beach Volleyball Continental Cup.
