Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, February 21, 2011 – Wagner Pacheco has been putting his Dominican Republic team through their paces as they start looking ahead to the 2011 FIVB Women's Junior Volleyball World Championship in Peru in July.
Brazilian coach Pacheco has been working with the team five days a week, with the focus on both conditioning and on-court training. The Dominican team will be bidding to improve on the silver medal they won in Tijuana and Mexicali, Mexico at the last edition in 2009.
Key players Marianne Fersola and Brenda Castillo, the latter of whom was a member of the Dominican Republic squad that finished 17th at last year's FIVB Women's World Championship in Japan, will join up with the squad once they have finished the season with their clubs. Castillo plays for Club Las Criollas de Caguas in the Puerto Rican league while Fersola is with Club Murcia 2005 in the Spanish league.
While training will continue, the Dominican team will get on-court experience at the Women's Junior Pan American Cup in Lima, Peru in June, before returning to the same country for the World Championship from July 22-31.
