The Bermuda Volleyball Association’s Junior National Program will be sending four teams to compete in the Florida Holiday Challenge over December 10th & 11th under the team names Paradise Hitters (Girls: Under 13, Under 14, Under 16 & Under 18).
This is a two-day, USA Volleyball-sanctioned event, with 166 teams currently registered. The tournament will take place at the Daytona Beach Ocean Center and represents the first overseas tournament of the 2022/23 season for the Junior National Team program.
The selection process for Bermuda’s teams was a difficult one, so congratulations to those who have been selected and to everyone else who have put in so much dedication and commitment. All players have been training two to three times a week since September and everyone is very excited for their first major outing. Additionally, all teams have either been playing in the BVA Winter League or the BVA Youth League honing their skills and strategy to give them the best opportunity to do well over the weekend’s matches.
Providing these young athletes the opportunity to compete overseas is invaluable and this tournament provides them with an opportunity to gain experience above and beyond what is available in Bermuda.
None of this would be possible without the generous support of our sponsors and dedicated team of coaches and staff. Our amazing sponsors have allowed this program to be accessible to so many new players and have helped provide the opportunities to create seasoned players that have the experience to compete on the global stage. All coaches are committed to the players and the program; not only creating talented volleyball players, but strong, confident, team oriented young leaders.
