The following is being released at the request of Sport Newfoundland and Labrador:

The Newfoundland and Labrador Volleyball Association is now starting planning for our 2000 Summer Elite Midget Volleyball Program. Last summer they had 72 athletes travel to Quebec and New Brunswick over a two week period participating in the Eastern Canadian elite championship and as well the Quebec Espoir Tournament. It was a very successful trip with all athletes and coaches having a great time. This summer they hope to carry out a similar program for Midget aged athletes (born in 1984 or later), with competition scheduled for Quebec and Cape Breton.
