It is an opportunity for children, ages 5 to 17 to get into the sport, and train with some of Belize's best volleyball players. Today, the president of the association told us that they have an international coach who will participate and provide instruction:

Allan Sharp - President, Belize Volleyball Association
"We're having a summer camp starting on Monday July 1st - it will last all of July and we're going to try and go up to the end of August. It's held Monday to Fridays starting at 9:30am and we go all the way to 5pm depending on age groups and we're also going to be having a Cuban coach that will be coming in for the month of August and he'll be spending a couple weeks with the kids. It's being held at the Belize Elementary Auditorium and what we're hoping to do is to have a lot of kids come in, first of all to keep the kids busy during summer but most of all to have fun with the sport of Volleyball."

Daniel Ortiz
"When will it start and when will it end?"

Allan Sharp
"Well it starts on the first of July which is Monday, it ends on August 23rd but people dont' have to register on the first of July - that would be nice but if they can't make it on the first then they can come in anytime after that and they can come in and bring their kids or the kids can come in by themselves. Like I said it's broken down into age groups, one age group is boys and girls 5-8 - next age groups are boys and girls 9-12 and then we have in the afternoon girls 13-17 and then boys 13-17."

The volleyball camp is free but donations of any kind will be greatly appreciated. Any member of the public who is interested in signing up can contact the association at telephone numbers 607-6939 or 610-5565.
