The Fiji Volleyball federation through the Pacific Volleyball Partnership program will be sending three officials to be part of the Australian Awards Fellowship program supported by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs early next week.
FVF President Elesi Ketedromo was grateful to Australian Volleyball for the opportunity given to undergo further training in community coaching. “Opportunities as such do not come too often and we are appreciative of the selection done, commented Ketedromo.
Ketedromo also commended the work undertaken by the officials in their areas of concentration and such motivational and capacity building outings will do wonders in their respective lives, first and foremost, the sport and the Federation as a whole.
