Nassau, The Bahamas, June 29, 2025. – The CAZOVA VolleyStation Seminar officially concluded in Nassau, The Bahamas, as part of preparations for the upcoming CAZOVA Championships set to take place in the country. The initiative aimed to strengthen the region’s technical capabilities in line with international standards.
A total of 16 participants were trained in VolleyStation Referee (digital scoring), while 10 completed the VolleyStation Pro (performance analysis) module, with 8 individuals successfully completing both courses. This marks a significant step forward in developing a group of qualified VolleyStation delegates who can support both domestic and international competitions.
Bahamas Volleyball Federation President, Kurkwood Greene Sr., expressed his satisfaction with the outcome, emphasizing how vital it is to have certified personnel for the upcoming events. “We are pleased that these participants are now qualified to work at our championships, especially for the CAZOVA Senior Championships which we will be hosting. This also allows us to use them in our national leagues, fully aligned with FIVB standards,” said Greene.
FIVB instructor Manuel Calderón, who led the seminar, praised the dedication of the participants. “The group was very attentive, highly engaged, and eager to learn. Now the key is to continue their development through regular practice to maintain and refine these new skills,” he stated.
CAZOVA President Mushtaque Mohammed also commended the group’s commitment. “This is a major step toward developing self-sufficiency in the Caribbean. I encourage participants to keep practicing because without it, these skills can fade. This effort is not only for local events but also prepares them to contribute to NORCECA and other international competitions,” he said.
This seminar is part of CAZOVA’s broader strategy to develop a sustainable network of qualified VolleyStation delegates within the Caribbean. Some of the participants are expected to gain further experience through upcoming international assignments within the region, helping to strengthen our presence on the global volleyball stage.
The seminar wrapped up with a certification ceremony on June 29, reinforcing CAZOVA’s commitment to embracing technology and elevating volleyball operations across the Caribbean.
