Caribbean Volleyball Association’s (ECVA) Junior Champions are set. The Championships serve as a qualifier for ECVA teams (one male and one female), to compete in the 2014 North Central American and Caribbean Volleyball Confederation (NORCECA) Continental Championship.

The men’s championship will be hosted by French St Maarten August 15-19, with St Lucia, British Virgin Islands, Anguilla, Antigua, Dominica, and St Maarten competing for the title.

The contingent to represent St Lucia at the Junior Female Championship will be announced at a later date.

Volleyball is in full swing in St Lucia as junior and senior in both male and female divisions in both formats of the sport (beach and indoor teams), have been preparing and competing in regional and international competitions in 2013.
