GVF President Shuffler stated during his remarks that with the commissioning of the floor at the popular venue which usually host’s various sporting activities, Volleyball players will now be able to display their unique skills without being injured from the rigid surface they were previously accustomed to.

The commissioning ended with a demonstration of the game of Volleyball by the Junior National Inter-Guiana Games female team which represented Guyana in Suriname recently along with the Junior members of National Club Champion Team, Young Achievers.
