Barely recovered from the Continental Under-20 Cup in Fort Lauderdale, training has resumed seriously to best prepare the new under-18 team, which is actually made up of girls up to 15 years old. The selection will compete in the Continental Cup from August 31 to September 8 in Puerto Rico.
The young Saint-Martin volleyball players will discover in their turn over ten days the very high level with the presence of teams from Puerto Rico, United States, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Mexico, Costa Rica, Barbados, Canada and Guatemala.
“We rectified some practices during this preparation and emphasized certain crucial points. We must not forget that the team is young with new players, ”says Jean-Luc Lezin, president of the development department and responsible for the U18 women's selection with Jeff Pierre, the assistant coach. We are aware that we will suffer in the face of national teams which enjoy an excellent level. In short, it will be difficult to compete with our opponents! But we are here to learn, strengthen ourselves and make people talk about us in our Caribbean area, French Saint Martin. The matches of zone champions (Barbados, Nicaragua) should approach our level and allow us to better express ourselves ”.
The Continental Cup U18 therefore takes place from August 31 to September 8 in Puerto Rico. The girls will experience the high standing of the great national teams hosted at the Albergue Olìmpico German Rieckhehoff Sampoyo Olympic Village and will play at the Complejo Deportivo de Hato Rey, Ave. Roosevelt, in San Juan.
Good matches girls! _AF
