This is the first time that Bermuda has sent three, separate, Age Group teams away at one time and this would not be possible without the tireless efforts of our volunteer staff (coaches, staff, chaperones and parents), the support of the Bermuda Volleyball Association and the exceptional effort put forth by all of our players, both travelling and non-travelling.
We’d also like to extend a very special thanks to all of our 2018 sponsors: Fast Forward Freight, Appleby, Butterfield & Vallis, Enstar Group, Validus Re, FIL Limited, Orbis Investment Management Ltd. and Noble Auto.
