PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti, March 12,
2014 - The Haitian Volleyball Federation, with FIVB support, is
currently running an eight-day Volleyball Cooperation Programme
Level I Coaches Course under the supervision of French instructor
André Glaive.
Some 33 candidates from all parts
of Haiti - such as Cap Haïtien, Cayes, Petit Goave, Hinche,
Gonaives, Dessalines, Anse à Veau, Bohoc and Verrettes - are taking
part in the programme.
Training includes components on
elite selection, young players' development and the use of coaching
techniques to stabilize basic techniques. In this context, the
behaviour of the coach must motivate and inspire confidence in the
players, which is important in order to keep young children
interested in playing volleyball.
Examples in matches, physical
preparation and players' first-aid on court were also introduced in
the course.
Haiti's national federation, under
President Margarette C. Graham, is doing everything possible to
help volleyball grow across the country.
The qualification of their two
national teams for the third round of the World Championship is a
testament to their hard work and progress.
