Volleyball Empowerment also seamlessly complements the country\u2019s long-standing Volley4Change community project.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe vision of FIVB President Ary Gra\u00e7a through Volleyball Empowerment is consistent with our Volley4Change project. By raising the standards of our national teams, this helps us to create role models and ambassadors for our community project who are national team players.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen our team won bronze at both the Commonwealth Games in 2018 and 2022, we shared this triumph and joy with our local communities, displaying our medals to inspire young children and people in the villages. This helped in transforming the mentality of community leaders who now support the idea that women can be professional athletes as well as mothers and wives back home,\u201d said Masauvakalo.<\/p>\n<p><i><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-109657\" src=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/GetImage.asmx_-4-300x200.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/GetImage.asmx_-4-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/GetImage.asmx_-4-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/GetImage.asmx_-4-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/GetImage.asmx_-4-580x387.jpeg 580w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/GetImage.asmx_-4-860x574.jpeg 860w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/GetImage.asmx_-4-1160x774.jpeg 1160w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/GetImage.asmx_-4-500x334.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/GetImage.asmx_-4-800x534.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/GetImage.asmx_-4-1280x854.jpeg 1280w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/GetImage.asmx_-4-1320x881.jpeg 1320w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/GetImage.asmx_-4-600x400.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/GetImage.asmx_-4.jpeg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>Vanuatu women\u2019s national player Sherysyn Toko (left) coaches the U16 boys team of the After-School Programme under the Volley4Change community project (Photo credits: VVF)<\/i><\/p>\n<p>In view of the increasing popularity of the sport due to the ongoing success of the national team, the VVF has developed an After-School Program (ASP) for children, where they are coached by past and present national team players. This unique mentorship opportunity has furthered the community\u2019s passion for the sport.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are trying as much as possible not to lose our national team players and keep them within the sport, even after they stop playing. We identify their passions when they are still playing so that we can empower them to build careers in retirement. We provide training workshops in areas like media, leadership, computer skills and of course coaching, so that we can bring them back to volleyball in a new role,\u201d explained Masauvakalo.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>A legendary figure within volleyball in Vanuatu, Miller Pata has become a permanent fixture in the sport&#8217;s landscape.

She has learnt a lot by working with coaches from the Volleyball Empowerment programme as a player and also now as an assistant coach.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe loves sharing this knowledge as a coach through our community projects which include the ASP and sitting volleyball \u2013 our Volley4Change inclusion programme for people with a disability. All our current national team players are deeply involved as coaches in the ASP which has now been running for 10 years. They are not only role models for young people, but they also do it as a way of giving back to the community.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a result, a lot of girls are now taking up volleyball as their preferred sport in Vanuatu especially in our two major cities of Luganville on Espiritu Santo and in the capital Port Vila. Having our national team players involved in the delivery of the Volley4Change project has helped them appreciate the impact of volleyball beyond being professional players,\u201d remarked VVF President Masauvakalo, who also singled out current national team player Majabelle Lawac as a beneficiary of the Volley4Change project. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Masauvakalo added that the sitting volleyball programme has also helped build the reputation of volleyball as a sport which promotes inclusivity and healthy living in the whole community.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cVolleyball is also a source of hope for people with disabilities who feel inspired by playing sitting volleyball. It is a version of our sport that gives them a chance to enjoy volleyball and feel included as part of the whole community. Older people also see volleyball as a sport that can help them to keep fit and lead healthy lives,\u201d said Debbie.<\/p>\n<p>QUICK LINKS<\/p>\n<p>AVC Website: click <a
