PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, May 29, 2013 - An International Course of Data Volley & Data Video was held in Trinidad under the supervision of James Wilroy, the responsible for the department of education of Data Volley Company.

The participants will have the opportunity to develop the practical part of the course during the Volleyball Caribbean League, where 31 foreign players are joining the local talent for the second edition of the competition.

The opening ceremony of the course, organized in coordination with the FIVB/NORCECA Regional Development Centre in Dominican Republic, was attended by Mushtaque Mohammed, president of the Caribbean Zonal Volleyball Association (CAZOVA), Daymian Steward, president of the T&T Volleyball Federation, Judith Sandino, president of the NORCECA VIS Commission and Yohana Mota, vice director of the Development Centre.

"NORCECA development commission expects that the participants in these programs will transfer their knowledge gained in these courses and seminars, in their respective countries so the information will continue to grow," Mohammed, president of NORCECA Development Commission stated as he addressed the participants.

"We do not want to have people collecting certificates to add to their Curriculum but to spread the knowledge gained.  This will have a multiplying effect and will create long term learning," Mohammed added.

He also highlighted the fact that last year NORCECA through the development program awarded 112 scholarships in different courses held through the development centre.

This investment is providing dividend as we are seeing much growth in the national federations' technical capacity in the World Championships Qualification tournaments held in NORCECA.

The 22 participants in the course are from Trinidad & Tobago (14), Bahamas, Belize, Grenada, Montserrat, Peru, St Eustatius, Suriname and Tortola.
