FIVB/GVF Beach Volleyball Course opens today
The Guyana Volleyball Federation (GVF) in collaboration with the World Governing Body for the sport (FIVB) will be staging a Grassroots Course for persons interested in Beach Volleyball at the Carifesta Sports Complex, Carifesta Avenue, starting at 09:00 hrs.
According to a release from the GVF, the Couse is expected to run until June 29 and FIVB Instructor Mauro Hernandez of Venezuela was expected to arrive in Guyana yesterday to conduct the sessions along with two participants Johan Gutierres and Leonardo Ojeda.
The release added that the staging of the Course is in keeping with the direction that FIVB suggested for Levels 1 and 2 Federations to develop Beach Volleyball, Schools Volleyball and Community Volleyball.
Beach Volleyball is gaining worldwide popularity and is included in the Olympics and the GVF is committed to developing this form of the game since being a two-person format it is cost effective and can permit the Local Body to send teams to compete outside of Guyana, the release added.
A great number of participants male and female have signed up for the course and the GVF extended thanks to the Ministry of Culture, Youth & Sport for its support towards the Course.
