Regional Volleyball Tournament Starts in Belize
posted (September 23, 2016)
Today is the last day of practice for the Belize National Men's Volleyball Team, and the seven other teams from Central America and the Caribbean who are here for the FBVI Men's World Championship Qualification Tournament. We stopped by during practice and asked them if they're ready:

Delio Arruebarrena, Head Coach
"We'll have to take it a game at a time, a set at a time, because with the preparation that the team has they have the ability and the capacity to do good. So they just have to take it in stride as it comes. We know it's not easy, but the guys can do it because they have the training and preparation."

Alex Courtenay, reporter
"And if there are one or two things to keep in mind while playing these teams, that will help you actually do better what you those be?"

Karym Coleman
"Well the first thing that we need to do is to stay focused. You know, we can't just be distracted especially at home. We have the fans that are going to be with us and you know our fans are pretty much critics, so if you're trying to fight back up they're there with you, but if you're down they're going to be right there telling you to get back up same. And the second is just you know, play as one, be cohesive."

The tournament starts this Saturday, and continues on to next week Friday. The top two teams in this tournament will go on to represent their countries in the NORCECA Continental Championship.
