Tijuana, Mexico, June 22, 2012 – A FIVB Technical Seminar for Setters drew to a close at the High Performance Center in Baja California, Mexico on Friday after four days of teaching.

FIVB instructor Tony Westman led the seminar, which welcomed 22 coaches from seven countries - Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico and Nicaragua.

The program was coordinated by the FIVB Regional Development Centre in the Dominican Republic.
 
The opening ceremony was attended by Alberto Arreola, vice-president of the Mexican Volleyball Federation, Octavio Morgan, director of the Baja California High Performance Center, and Yoana Mota, a supervisor from the FIVB Regional Development Center.

The Seminar included practical and theoretical sessions and formed part of a 12-course program being implemented by the Development Centre throughout the year.

Mota praised the quality of the organisation of the course saying: "There is a high level of preparation and everything is perfectly coordinated. Here you are prepared to organise any type of events."

This was the second of three technical courses to be held in Mexico in 2012. The first was a data volley seminar in April. The third is a Level I Coaches Course later in the year.
