A busy month of May at the FIVB
The month of May marked a
turning point in the FIVB’s annual
calendar and a shift from several
months of busy preparation to a
phase of action. On the competition
side, the first tournament on the
SWATCH FIVB World Tour took
place, whilst on the administration
side the FIVB’s Executive Committee
and Board of Administration held
their annual session in Lausanne.
The FIVB Executive Committee
In addition to examining the proposals
of the FIVB’s Commissions, the Board
of Administration also reviewed the 184
candidatures for the Commissions and
Board of Administration for submission to
the 30th World Congress in Japan later this
year. Prior to these meetings, important
sessions were held by the Legal Commission, the Press Commission with tournament press directors and the Technical
Supervisors and Referee Delegates for
Beach Volleyball.
In addition to the first SWATCH FIVB
World Tour event in Modena, Beach Volleyball also saw the first NESTEA European Championship tournament – the
Turkish Masters in Alanya and the first
FIVB Challenger event, which brought
Beach Volleyball to the Czech Republic for
the first time ever. This month we will see
the first Grand Slam event on the SWATCH
FIVB World Tour, as all eyes turn to Gstaad
to see the numerous changes to the tournament as the mountain resort builds up
to next year’s World Championships.
We are happy to see a steady stream of
news flowing in from the countries with
teams participating in this year’s world
championships. As many teams start their

An overview of the Dominican Republic
national team’s preparations for Japan
This will be the fifth time for the current Pan American Games queens at
the women’s World Championships.
Their best result came in Japan in
1998 when they finished in eleventh
place. Other participations include
Mexico 1974 (21st), Moscow 1978
(19th) and Germany 2002 (13th).
Coach Statement
“We have a good mix of veterans and young
players and my expectations are very
high,” says Cruz. “I am a strong believer
in hard work and I expect good results
from it. There are no small teams or big
teams, so let the performance on the court
decide the outcome during this important
quadrennial event.”
How they qualified
One of six teams from their Continental
Confederation entering the event, the
Dominicans, currently ranked 11th in the
world), finished second to Cuba in the
NORCECA-E Qualifying Round in Santiago, Dominican Republic.
Goals
The team’s chances of advancing to the
second round look very realistic this time.
Among their rivals in Pool B, the Dominicans have consistently dominated Mexico
and have also collected victories over Germany and Azerbaijan. They last defeated
Germany at last year’s World Grand Prix
and beat the Germans away during the
2001 edition of the Bremen International
Tournament.
New Face
Cindy Rondon is a product of the National
Development Program and currently plays
in the A-1 Series of the Italian League. The
17 year-old Rondon is a member of the
Junior Dominican Team and took part in
the U-20 women’s World Championships
in Turkey. She has a powerful serve and
is an all-around skilled athlete with great
blocking ability.
Beato Miguel
Cruz,
new coach
Milagros
Cabral
Milagros Cabral is the captain of the
Dominican squad and power is the name
of her game. She has been on the international scene for the past few years exhibiting her powerful spikes in the leagues of
Italy, Russia and Puerto Rico. Completely
recovered from achilles tendon surgery,
she is back in full action. Cabral won the
Most Valuable Player award during the
II Pan American Women’s Cup in Saltillo,
Mexico in 2002 and was selected to take
the Athlete’s Oath during the Opening Ceremony of the 2003 Pan American Games.
Evelyn Carrera is a model of consistency
and has gained international recognition as one of the best libero players in
the world. The veteran Carrera was the
second best libero of the last Olympics
in Athens and was elected as the top of
her class during the 2003 Pan American
Games, the 2002 Central American and
Caribbean Games and the 2006 Puerto
Rican League.
Cindy Rondon
Star Players
Annerys Vargas has developed into the
new big weapon of the Dominican side.
The 1.94m Vargas was the most dominating player in the Puerto Rican League this
season starring for the Bayamon Cowgirls.
Annerys combines spiking and blocking
skills and the World Championships will
be a great stage to catapult her to the Big
Time.
Coach
Beato Miguel Cruz is the first Dominican
to coach the team for the last twelve years
but he is not new to the environment.
Cruz has been the technical director of the
Dominican Republic National Federation
and his experience includes coaching the
men’s national team for several years.

“This was my first experience as Head
Coach of our national team,” stated Glenn
Hoag. “The camp went very well, mainly
because this group of athletes was very
focused and came prepared to compete
and learn. These players will play a
valuable role in Canadian volleyball in
both the upcoming season, as well as the
full-time training centre. It will be a long,
tough year and our players will be tested
in all aspects of the game.”
In Team Canada’s first exhibition series
of the international Volleyball season, the
12th-ranked Canadians lost out to the 15thranked Chinese team in a three-match
series. After two close five-set matches,
China secured the final match with a convincing 3-0 victory in front of 2000 Canadian and Chinese fans. Coming up big
for Canada despite the loss, were Dallas
Soonias with 15 points (12 kills, 3 blocks),
and veteran Steve Brinkman who had 11
points including 4 kills and 7 blocks.
The team will now re-group and prepare
for the first-ever Men’s Pan American
Cup, where they will face the Dominican
Republic, Mexico and Trinidad & Tobago
in Pool A, before crossing over to face
powerhouse Cuba and rivals USA.

VOLLEYBALL women
An interview with Poland’s
Katarzyna Skowronska
Katarzyna ‘Kasia’ Skowronska is one
of the rising stars of women’s volleyball. The 22-year-old Pole took part
in a Question and Answer session with
the official website of the FIVB World
Championships Japan 2006:
• What are your general comments
on the Poland team, for example your
strong points and weak points?
K.S.: I can’t tell you all our strong points,
because we need to have some surprises
for the World Championship. For sure
we need to work a lot on defence and
on producing consistent form. The most
important thing is that we are still young
and we create a
real team.
• Sometimes
the
Poland
team is excellent, but the
next day is not
so good. Why
is this?
K.S.: That’s a
mental problem,
and shows why
it is so impor-
tant to be consistent. We need to learn
also that we are able to overcome even the
strongest teams like China or Brazil. We
didn’t win against them until now and it’s
still in our heads.
• In Pool A, what will it be like to play
Japan at home in Tokyo? What is the
atmosphere like for Japan’s opponents,
and does the noise intimidate you or
inspire you?
K.S.: It’ nice to play in a gym which is full
of people. Japan’s fans expect a good game
and they appreciate good action no matter
whether it’s from Japan or the other team.
I hope it will be the same atmosphere in
Poland on the World Grand Prix this year.
• You play three Asian teams in Pool
A at the World Championships: Japan,
Korea and Chinese Taipei. How is their
volleyball style different to the European style?
K.S.: They play really fast volleyball and
they have the best defence of all teams
all over the world. Now I know this style
because of my play in Italy with Miyuki
Takahashi. We need to be very careful
about their excellent counter-attacks. The
players have got really good technical
skills and because of that they are really
precise. In my opinion in Europe we have
the better block.
• What do you expect from Kenya and
Costa Rica?
K.S.: I don’t know these teams at all, but
I think that at the World Championships
there are no weak teams. We will not disregard them for sure.
• How high do you think Poland can finish in the World Championships?
K.S.: I dream about a medal. We are able
to do this. I really believe this…
• You are only 22 years old. What is
your goal in life, both in volleyball and
away from volleyball?
K.S.: Carpe diem…catch your every day
like it would be the last…
• Describe your shoulder tattoo, and
why you have it?
K.S.: It’s a dragon which I put on on my
18th birthday… he’s strong - that’s the
reason.
• The Japanese fans like your play and
your character. What do you like about
Japan as a country from your visits
here?
K.S.: I like Japan because it’s modern,
huge and powerful. The country has a specific character and specific culture. When
I’m thinking about Japan I can see a lot of
colors.
• Will you continue to play in Italy for
Minetti Infoplus Vicenza, or will you
play in Japan’s V League in the future?
K.S.: I don’t know yet what I will be doing
in the future. To play in Japan it’s a big
adventure, but I like adventures. I think
I would like to play there some day… we
will see what life brings.

Japan’s “golden girls” from the 1976 Montréal
Olympic Games look to the future
The magical memories of Montreal
are still alive in Japan, and have led
to the establishment of a non-profit
organisation to spread the volleyball
gospel. The 12 members of Japan’s
gold medal-winning women’s squad at
the 1976 Olympic Games have teamed
up again to form NPO Volleyball Montreal, and have been joined by media
representatives and support staff who
were also involved in the epic campaign 30 years ago.
talks to kids and hopefully give them the
inspiration to succeed in whatever they
choose to do.”
In order to fund their activities, NPO Volleyball Montreal will be seeking sponsorship within the volleyball community, and
has already been supplied with an attractive uniform by Japanese sportswear giant
Mizuno. The group has around 50 members and plans to expand to include other
volleyball Olympians from Japan’s glorious past.
Registered with the Tokyo city government
and with office space at the Japan Volleyball Association headquarters in Sendagaya, near the National Stadium built for
the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, NPO Volleyball
Montreal will have several aims, according to team member and chief executive
Yuko Arakida. “The first will be to hold volleyball clinics and schools for kids, middleschool students and mama-sans,” says
Yuko, the term ‘mama-sans’ referring to
the hugely popular circuit for mothers and
older players. “The second is to organise
media training for the top athletes, not
only in volleyball, so they can learn how to
handle the media and conduct interviews
with the press and TV. We also plan to give
Nine of the 12 ‘golden girls’ from Montreal
attended the press conference, among
them captain Takako Iida, who becomes
the first president, and Echiko Maeda and
Takako Shirai, the two vice presidents.
The nine other members are Mariko
Okamoto, Noriko Matsuda, Kiyomi Kato,
Yuko Arakida, Katsuko Kanesaka, Hiromi
Yano, Shoko Takayanagi, Mariko Yoshida
and Juri Yokoyama. With the players living in various parts of Japan, for example
Hokkaido in the north and Kyushu in the
south, NPO Volleyball Montreal will be
able to reach deep into the community.
The seeds for the new venture were sown
eight years ago, when the 12 players were
invited to a reunion at the FIVB
World Championships in Japan
on November 3, 1998. After that
they agreed to meet socially every
two years on the same date, and
two years ago decided to take the
movement one step further and
give something back to society.
Japan’s ‘Class of 76’ at the Montreal Olympics is regarded as
one of the strongest teams of all
time. They demolished Hungary,
Peru and Canada in Group A, all
in straight sets, before beating
Korea in the semi-finals and the
Soviet Union in the final, again
without dropping a set.

Brazilians claim top spot in Modena to start
the 2006 SWATCH FIVB World Tour
For the start of this 15th season on the
women’s SWATCH FIVB World Tour
Juliana Felisberta Silva and Larrisa
Franca of Brazil validated their 2005
points championship by defeating
reigning Olympic and World champions Misty May-Treanor and Kerri
Walsh of the United States for the gold
medal at the USD 200,000 Play Station Portable Italian Open on the Foro
Boario centre court.
Played on a picture-perfect day with an
over-flowing crowd of 3.500 with a sprinkling of Brazilian supporters, the second-seeded Juliana and Larissa scored a
21-19 and 27-25 win in 55 minutes over
the top-seeded May-Treanor and Walsh to
share the USD 32,000 first-place prize in
the season opening event on the 15-stop
women’s international tour.
It was the second win in the last three
meetings for the young Brazilians over
May-Treanor and Walsh. The two teams
split a pair of title matches in Mexico and
South Africa as both tandems each won
six SWATCH FIVB World Tour gold medals in 2005. Overall, the Americans have
won six of the eight meetings, including a
victory in the finals at the 2005 SWATCH
FIVB World Championships last June in
Berlin.
22-year old Juliana said: “We have been
working hard to beat Misty and Kerri and
make ourselves the top team in the world
entering the Beijing Olympic Games in
2008. They are such a talented team, but
we made the plays to win the match today.
We are almost perfect this season, but we
still have a lot of room for improvement.”
Larissa added the SWATCH most outstanding player trophy to her gold medal
and assorted gifts from the Italian pro-

moter. “The Americans are considered
the best, but we were better today. Except
for a slow start, we played extremely well.
This was a perfect place to launch our
season as the Italians were great hosts,”
the 24-year old Larissa added. “We look
forward to coming back since Italy has
been a great place to play for us.”
The win was the second Italian title for
Juliana and Larissa as the pair captured
the Play Station Portable Italian Open in
June 2005 in Milan where they defeated
Vasso Karadassiou and Vassiliki Arvaniti of
Greece in the final. The Greeks eventually
won the 2005 European Championships
in Moscow and also defeated Juliana and

NORCECA has created the
Jim Coleman Award as an
honor to the most outstanding coach of the NORCECA’s
Men’s Continental Championships.
The Executive Committee and Board of
Administration of NORCECA unanimously
approved the proposal made by Mr. Doug
Beal, CEO of USA Volleyball and member of both bodies of the North, Central
American and Caribbean Volleyball Confederation of which Mr. Coleman was a
co-founder.
The award, in the form of a trophy, will be
presented every two years at the conclusion of the men’s most important continental tournament within NORCECA.
Mr. Coleman was a symbol of American Volleyball particularly at the international level. He took part in seven Olympic
Games, eight Pan American Games, five
World Cups, six World Championships
and eleven NORCECA Championships.
Mr. Coleman, who died in 2001, was a
member of the FIVB Rules of the Game
Commission for 25 years and was an editor of the FIVB Rules Casebook.
“I am really satisfied with the strong support for my proposal from all the members
of the Executive Committee and Board of
Administration and I am going to communicate this decision to the Coleman family
and to USA Volleyball,” said Mr. Beal. “I
positively know they will be very proud of
this recognition.”

CEV Executive Committee
meeting in Istanbul
In its meeting in Istanbul
(TUR) on Saturday 22nd
April 2006, the CEV Executive Committee evaluated
the organisation of the European Cups’
season 2005/06 and prepared the new
arrangements for the coming season,
including:
• The introduction of a new ranking
system valid for 2007/08
• A test year 2006/07 with 24 men’s
teams and 16 women’s team participating in the Indesit European Champions’ League
• The preparation for the Drawing of
Lots and following seminar from 23rd
to 24th June 2006 in Vienna (AUT).
It was also decided to present a ‘Fair Play’
award during the European Volleyball
Gala in Vienna (AUT), where Europe’s
best players will also be honoured. This
year’s ‘Fair Play’ prize will be awarded
to Marcus Nilsson from Paris Volley. The
23-year-old Swede supported the second
referee in the men’s CEV Cup semi-final
against the later champion Lube Macerata, admitting to have touched the net during a critical score at the end of the third
set, which finally decided the match in the
opponent’s favour.
In Beach Volleyball, a new ranking system
has been approved by the CEV Executive
Committee which will be valid from this
season onwards.
The new CEV ranking system will also
take into account the points gathered
during international FIVB events, so that
some top European players will also have
the opportunity to qualify for and compete
in European events.
