The anticipation is palpable as defending Vulaca Volleyball Tournament champions of both categories Suva eagerly prepare to defend their title this weekend.

Led by experienced coaches Apenisa Saukuru and Josaia Rasiga, both teams have undergone rigorous training in the past few weeks to showcase their skills on the court.

The 2024 Vulaca Tournament will start tomorrow at the FMF Gymnasium.

Saukuru, the Head Coach and Fiji’s sole internationally accredited FIVB Beach Volleyball referee brings a wealth of experience as a former Suva player and a representative for Fiji in both beach volleyball and indoor competitions at the Pacific Games.

His dual role as a coach and referee adds a unique perspective to the teams' preparation, emphasizing the importance of mentorship and skill development.

The Vice President of the Suva Volleyball Association Semaima Lagilagi says the rarity of former players like Saukuru giving back to the sport through coaching and mentoring is superb.

The games will start at 8am tomorrow.
