Team profile
The Dominican Republic will be taking part in the FIVB Women’s World Cup for the third time in a row and have made it clear that they want to improve on their results at the two previous tournaments where they finished 10th and ninth. Taking into consideration recent results, there is no reason why not.
With coach Marcos Kwiek starting to reap the rewards of building a squad around captain Milagros Cabral since taking over in 2008, big things are expected of the Caribbean country. Their bronze medal at the FIVB World Grand Champions Cup in 2009 was the breakthrough result, their first FIVB medal. Whilst they haven’t quite pushed on from that watershed moment, expectations are still high with some world class players starting to make a name for themselves on the international stage.
With good balance and depth, Kwiek now has more flexibility in his squad which he is hoping will translate into success on the court. The team arrives in Japan after finishing fourth at the Pan American Games and winning silver at the NORCECA Continental Championship, losing to the United States on both occasions. It was the second silver medal of the year for the Dominican Republic following the side’s performance at the Pan American Cup, which was won by Brazil in Mexico in July.
Coach profile
Brazilian Marcos Kwiek began coaching in 1995 with Brazilian club Gremio Recreativo Barueri before moving on to Esporte Clube Pinheiros. His first foray into the international scene was as an assistant coach for Brazil’s women’s team from 2003 to 2007 before taking the reins of the Dominican Republic in 2008. Since taking over, Kwiek has seen the side win gold and two silver medals at the Pan American Cup as well as the 2009 NORCECA Continental Championship title. He also helped guide the team to third at the FIVB Grand Champions Cup 2009.
