Pangungunahan naman ng tambalan nina Sisi Rondina at Bernadeth Pons, quarterfinalists sa FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour Boracay Open nitong Mayo, ang women’s class bilang bahagi ng kanilang paghahanda sa 30th SEA Games hosting sa Nobyembre.
“I know indoor volleyball is quite popular in Philippines. But I really encourage all players to try beach volleyball. If you are looking to improve at volleyball, then beach volleyball is the best tool by far. It will help you improve all your basic skills and efficiency, improve your physical conditioning and increase your volleyball IQ and mental fortitude. I encourage everyone to get involved with beach volleyball and to support BVR and their quest to grow the sport,” sambit ni McKienzie.
“I always like to be involved with volleyball in one way or another. If I can use my presence to help promote the sport and spark interest, then I am definitely up for it. I would very much like to come for as many BVR events as possible,” aniya.
