Development Proposal

Development Proposal History of the Confederation NORCECA was born during the 1966 Caribbean and Central American Games held in San Juan, Puerto Rico. It was previously known as the Caribbean and Central American Zone. The development of the NORCECA Confederation came from the visionary mind of former FIVB President, Dr. Rubén Acosta Hernández, in conjunction with several other sportsmen from Puerto Rico, Cuba and Haiti.

NORCECA was formally recognized by the FIVB in 1968, when Canada and the United States of America joined the Confederation. Its first Senior Championship was held in Mexico from Aug 4-9, 1969 and the inaugural game featured Haiti vs. Panama, with Haiti winning 3-0.

NORCECA’s first Junior Champion- ship was staged in 1980.

Development Proposal NORCECAʼs Vision NORCECA governs, manages and promotes all forms of Volleyball and Beach Volleyball for the North, Central America and Caribbean continent. It aims to develop Volleyball within each and every affiliated National Federation, guaranteeing that it complies with the FIVB’s Rules and Regulations.

NORCECAʼs Mission To be the main organizational and legislative support of all affiliated National Federations, so that it results in significant technical advancements of the game in the region, athlete’s performance, the professionalism of its coaches and the excellence of the organization of events.

Development Proposal NORCECA始s Objectives 1.To contribute to the organizational strengthening of all affiliated National Federations, improving the quality of its members and the efficiency of their services.

2.To integrate North, Central America and Caribbean countries from a global perspective.

3.To assist in finding answers to the development of Volleyball in their respective countries.

4.To positively apply all FIVB Rules and Regulations, with respect to its logical, psychological and socio cultural factors on our Confederation.

5.To promote strategic planning among our affiliated National Federations.

6.To guarantee the systematic advancement of Volleyball within our Confederation, so they may be at a competitive level with the other FIVB affiliated National Federations.

Development Proposal

Development Proposal

Development Proposal Project Overview Within the NORCECA Confederation, less than one (1) percent of the population plays volleyball according to a recent survey conducted by the confederation. More than 90% of the national Federations in Category I and II do not have programs for school and hence no youth and Junior National Teams. There is a deficiency in the number of coaches in the NF’s and there are limited (very little) financial resources, therefore there is a dependency on volunteers as coaches, which means that there can be no consistency in a coaching programs.

The NORCECA Confederation, in keeping with the FIVB goals for the continuous development of volleyball and beach volleyball worldwide, has embarked on a strategic development plan to aid the members of its confederation and contribute to the vision of the FIVB in this regard.

NORCECA have forty two (42) National Federations (NF’s) and Regional Members (RM’s) from which thirty six (36) are up and coming NF’s that belong to the FIVB Category I & II. The desired outcomes of this development plan are as follows:

Development Proposal Project Overview A. To Raise the Profile of each NF at category I and II in NORCECA by: •Improving their administrative and technical knowledge so that they can become more sustainable with strong programs for schools, clubs and national teams to be able to promote all Category I NF’s (18 in total) to Category II. B. To Develop National Federation at category I and II in a progressive way.

•Increase quality development and participation by youths across the confederation.

•Aid in the development of member NF’s human resource and support structures.

C.To ensure the growth of Volleyball in Category I and II NF. •Develop a structure in all National Federations to ensure that volleyball is played in all schools.

•To increase the number of persons who play volleyball in each National Federation.

D.To ensure that there are National Youth and Junior teams’ programs in Category I and II NF’s by initiating a development academy in each NF.

Development Proposal Background to Plan Currently, volleyball within the NORCECA member NF’s of category I and Category II are managed by volunteers. As a result of being volunteer driven, the development process within these NF’s becomes an unsecured and very slow process. This is as a result of the limited available time that these volunteers have to dedicate to the work of volleyball. Hence, this impacts on the quality of volleyball for the National Federation, the Confederation and world volleyball. It is necessary to move these NF’s out of the realm of dependency of volunteers and into management with a businesslike approach. Therefore the Confederation must provide the lead and give the support necessary through the FIVB Development Project so that the objectives set out by the FIVB will be achieved.

Development in any country cannot be done in isolation without a structured plan within each NF which must be followed to bring maximum value. Each NF must be motivated to pursue and focus on development to meet the objectives outlined within their respective strategic plan which will be in sync with the FIVB Development mission. The major end result is to increase the participation of the sport in each National Federation giving the sport wider acceptance.

Development Proposal Background to Plan The plan is long term but the intension of NORCECA Confederation is to inject enough resources and technical assistance so that the momentum created in the first three years can be sustained by the individual NF while gradually removing the dependency on NORCECA and FIVB. NORCECA mission is to work alongside FIVB so that more can be achieved within the same time frame. NORCECA major objective is to focus on assisting the NF develop National Teams at all levels (youth, junior, senior and beach) so that the investment of FIVB in mass volleyball will have additional value to the holistic development plan.

The intention of the Confederation is to: 1. Establish the individual needs of each NF’s through a gap analysis comprising of surveys; site visits for interaction with NF’s with their operational environment and culture; and the application of an organizational assessment tool.

2. Filling of gaps through the designing and implementation of a strategic development plan per NF’s guided by gold standards (specific to the individual needs of the NF’s) set by international best practices for NF’s to meet. This must be supported by quality assurance mechanisms through a Total Quality Management (TQM) approach.

Development Proposal Background to Plan 3. Aiding with advocacy of development through related organizations e.g.

Government institutions, National Olympic Committees, International Organizations and external government partners etc.

4. Application of a framework for the development of administrators, coaches, officials and clubs with specific focus on youth development.

5. Concentrate on mass volleyball participation by focusing on volleyball in the schools and communities.

6. Start a Development Academy in Each National Federation to ensure the sustainability of the National Youth and Junior Teams Programs.

Development Proposal Development Vision The vision of the NORCECA development plan 2010 2014 is to see member National Federations operating with increased levels of quality and accountability that sustains development the participation in volleyball at all levels (administration, officiating, coaching, etc) focusing on the spread of volleyball at the grassroots level in each National Federation within the NORCECA Confederation.

Development Mission To assist the development of NF’s with sustainable programs to improve the growth of the sport and increase participation in local and International tournaments while increasing the number of players who play volleyball.

Development Proposal Development Goals To achieve this vision, NORCECA seeks to fulfill the following goals: •By the end of 2014, improve and promote all Category I NF’s (18 in total) to Category II •By the end of 2014, create systems, platforms and resources for the promotion of Category II NF’s (9 in total) into Category III. •By the end of 2014, ensure that there are sustainable youth development programs in all category I & II NF’s.

•By the end of 2014, ensure that youth and junior teams are in engaged in quality training and participating in zonal and regional competitions.

•By the end of 2014, improve the capacity of human resource within NORCECA member NF’s.

•By the end of 2012, create development platforms, resources, frameworks and information that can be utilized by other FIVB members (Confederations and NF’s) for the benefit of world volleyball.

Development Proposal Development Objectives 1. To ensure that all NF’s have a four (4) year strategic plan.

2. Development of the human resources in all NF’s in the EVCA, CAZOVA and AFECAVOL zones.

3. To ensure the development of schools and communities programs in the respective NF”s.

4. To ensure that all NF’s in the confederation have development academies to for youth and junior teams (male & female) development.

5. To improve NF’s capabilities to host zonal tournaments.

6. To integrate all NF’s in zonal competitions.

7. To increase levels of participation of volleyball and beach volleyball at the grassroots level within each NF. 8. To enhance /develop the technical capabilities of human resource to support Long Term Athlete Development (LTAD) in the Category I & II NF’s.

10.To significantly aid in the development of international referees (indoor and beach) within each NF’s.

11. To ensure the development of beach programs in each NF.

Development Proposal Methodology & Timeline The methodology that will be used in the construction of the development framework to ensure that the development is participant centered, as suggested by the UK Sports International Coaching Education Standards (ICES). This involves matching the needs of the participants (athletes) to the on-going educational development of the service providers within the sport, namely, administrators, coaches and officials, as shown below.
