As part of the Pan American Cup tournament of the Volleyball Confederation of North, Central America and the Caribbean (NORCECA) for under 21s, which took place in Havana (Cuba), our young Grenadiers have just finished the competition on a disappointing note by losing their last two games of the tournament with the score of 3 sets to 2.

Friday, June 9 against Nicaragua, against which our Grenadiers had won twice last year in the same tournament and in the same place and then Saturday, June 10 against Guatemala, a total of 4 consecutive defeats after those of Canada and against the Dominican Republic (in the opening match) https://www.icihaiti.com/en/news-39717-icihaiti-norceca-volleyball-tournament-2nd-defeat-for-our-grenadiers.html

The Haitian Federation of Vollety-ball in its last competition bulletin writes "[...] We have to face reality because we have still a lot of work to do. Each of us will have to take responsibility. Leaders, coaches, players. We must form a united front to reach the next stage. There is no more room for excuses [...] We must continue to improve our level.

It's just a losing battle; the important thing is to be able to get up [...] To be able to take part in this competition, we had to win the CAZOVA tournament. To continue to evolve in this group we will have to win the next CAZOVA competition. So, let's dry our tears and get to work.

This team is young and represents our future. Let's continue to support them and encourage them to give the best of themselves."
