Teams will be competing for points that will help them in their efforts to qualify for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris.

“I am absolutely elated that the CIVF has decided to host a stop on the NORCECA Continental Tour. Not only is it an opportunity to bring elite volleyball athletes to the Cayman Islands but it provides a unique experience for the public to see their own Caymanian athletes compete and play against world class athletes,” said Dr. Trevor Theroulde, Technical Director of the Cayman Islands Volleyball Federation. “I am hopeful that the players will continue to receive the support from the public as they have in previous years. They have been working extremely hard to ensure an elevated level of performance and to make everyone proud of their accomplishments on the court.”

Volleyball was named a ‘focus sport’ in 2020 by the Cayman Islands Government, which has provided CIVF with additional funds to continue building the sport from the grassroots and attracting young Caymanians as well as position itself to produce elite junior and senior class players for international competitions.

The achievements of CIVF and its athletes as well as its ability to put on world class international tournaments has drawn the attention of companies in the community who are impressed by the quality of the programmes offered and want to support youth development.
