Dominica has been included as a venue for the Sizzlin’ Sand Beach Volleyball Caribbean Sunsplash Series 2010. This was revealed by Paul White, organizer of the event when he visited Dominica last week to hold discussions with the Discover Dominica Authority and DAVA officials.

Mr. White was able to inspect a number of potential venues for the proposed event; and he was pleased with the Macoucherie Beach facility which he thinks could be developed into a first class beach Volleyball venue. Negotiations are going on with a view to creating three artificial Beach Volleyball courts; however the appropriate sand would have to be hauled to the site.

The DAVA officials have expressed the view that the establishment of an artificial Beach Volleyball facility on the west coast of the island would be a huge boost for Beach Volleyball in Dominica, and would create the opportunities for regular training for local Beach Volleyball enthusiasts, as well as for hosting of regional and continental tournaments.

DOMINICA TO PARTICIPATE IN ECVA BEACH VOLLEYBALL EVENT

Dominica expects to participate in an Eastern Caribbean Volleyball Association (ECVA) Beach Volleyball event to be hosted by the St. Lucia Volleyball Association, on the weekend of April 16 – 18 or 23 – 25, 2010.

In preparation for the event, the DAVA will be scheduling elimination competitions to select the teams (pairs) to represent Dominica in the Men and Women categories.

Interested players are requested to contact the DAVA Beach Volleyball coordinator, Bristol Lawrence for details at 265 9672, or johnbl3@hotmail.com
