Committee.

the Dominican Federation, Indhira Ramirez and Arateide Caceres,

Marte Hoffiz highlighted the
support given by NORCECA to secure the presence of coaches from
different countries, and praised their personal effort to
participate.

Center in the Dominican Republic is the most active among all the
centers sponsored by FIVB throughout the world organizing more
activities than the current active institutions.

pleased for visiting the center once again and congratulated its
director for his work at the institution since its opening 20 years
ago.
