The United youth teams are currently taking part in the annual tournament of the Ligue de Volleyball des Iles du Nord in Galisbay. However, because of a technicality with logistics, the League will be using the GBSA for the games this weekend.
This is a great opportunity for the United teams, says Rhoda Arrindell, club coordinator. "At least this way a lot of parents and supporters who don't usually get to see them play in Galisbay will get the opportunity to see how the children have been progressing. Of course, the parents know that their children train weekly with the coaches, Clevie and Raymond, but they seldom get to see their progress, and at least now they can't use the excuse of the distance," she added.
Because of inactivity of the sport in the South, the UVC youngsters have been participating in the adult tournament for the past two years. This year, when the League introduced the junior games in January, it was natural for the teams to participate. This means that UVC has male and female teams in the senior and junior divisions.
While the less experienced females have struggled in the senior division, the males have been doing very well and are well on their way to the playoffs. Both boys and girls are expected to do well in the junior division, which wraps up in June.
The games on Saturday start at 7:00 p.m. with the UVC females expected to face No Limit, and the males taking on WIS.
