Cristobal Marte (NORCECA president, also Dominican) wasn't happy with Dominicana's performance (translated) Cristobal Marte is not in line with what the Caribbean Queens achieved in Tokyo and said there will be staff changes. ′′ I'm not satisfied ", he told Caribe on the phone from Tokyo yesterday. ′′ We lost two games in five sets to Brazil and Korea, which if we had been another result, we would have had the opportunity to move further and fight for medal. We finish in eighth place and down on the global scale from sixth to seventh. You always learn and keep working ", he added. The female volleyball national teams' chief executive said that next week the training process for qualifying tournaments for the 2024 Paris Olympics has begun and that new faces must be made way. Possible members ′We must give way to the new generations, just like we gave it to the current one. Now in Tokyo we got a generational relay, there are three players instead. Annerys Valdez, Prisilla Rivera and Gina Mambrú, who have already done their best to this country, can not be asked for more and we must think about the talent that comes on the rise ", he said. He mentioned players such as Madeline Guillén, Vielka Michel Peralta, Natalia Martínez, Geraldine González y Yineiris Rodríguez within the group called to be in the ′′ Caribbean Queens ′′ group in the immediate future. ′′ Why do we train athletes? I appreciate everyone who has been, but sport is like this, as in life, evolves ", he said. Meh, a QF exit is pretty much what the doctor ordered for Dominicana. Beating Japan in Tokyo could actually be a slight overachievement, losing to Korea underachievement, so, I look at them as pretty much exactly in line with expectations. Did Cristobal Marte really expect them to be in the Semifinals? That would be a pretty significant over-achievement, a la Korea. And if he wanted a better QF matchup -- Pool B was a crap shoot and going into the last day it practically could have been anyone anywhere, especially with a draw, so, the QF matchups is meh again. The disappointment (short-term) was that De La Cruz couldn't terminate, and Brayelin clearly wasn't at her best, she hasn't been this entire year, really (injury). Even a less than 100% Brayelin though, neither of the sisters were an issue. Jineiry was definitely a bright spot and if they can pass better consistently and develop a quality second ball so Castillo doesn't have to scramble, they can be potent. They have the arms and physicality in the pipeline. The issue long-term is that Kwiek has had an entire decade to develop an OH2/improve ball control overall with the team, and he hasn't done it. That's the most glaring issue on this team. Samaret Caraballo (UTRGV alum) and Vielka Peralta might be the best options to develop in that position. Peralta is much better offensively while Caraballo is just probably too undersized and not going to add enough offensively at the NT level but, you never know. The other players he mentioned (Natalia, Geraldine, Madeline) are going to have plenty of potential too. DR can hang on to Brenda for long enough and build around the Martinez sisters. They need to develop a good consistent setter, an OH2, and the rest should be good enough to keep them just outside the big dogs and fight to be one of the better 'next-in-line' teams. The issue is they've needed to get better setting and an OH2 for the past 5+ years, so, I wouldn't be surprised to see staffing changes. But Cristobal Marte can't act like he even has $$$ money to throw at a quality coach. I saw Caraballo signed a contract the other day. (Portugal) Will either of the Dominicans from FIU be in the future? What about Martinez from Central Michigan? |

She set the FIVB U18 team that took Silver at the World Championships years back. We'll see how she develops. There's a couple other setter options, I don't think Yokaty Perez is the future, I thought Hennesys Lalane was developing nicely and could potentially take over but I'm not sure there's really any clear future option at that position now. The other 2 (Miller-Green and Martinez CMU) I don't think will have impacts. There's U23 action going on right now. The streams are here on facebook. The level won't be great from the other teams, but it's a good look at some of the younger talent from Dominicana and Puerto Rico. USA does not field U23 teams. www.facebook.com/agssport/videos |

I dont have high hopes for the NORCECA matches lol Its probably not worth USA's time or resources. These are just qualifiers to the youth pan am games right? The only thing it really messes up is the NORCECA ranking |

But it's just not a good quality match with the level of play comparison. You can get a look at De La Rosa (S), Gonzales (MB) though she was at the U20 WCh's, Peralta, Natalia Martinez, Caraballo, Guillen (all OH, though Guillen can play both pins). |

At least 202(1)0 can’t deprive us of the NORCECA mess

just getting myself prepared #FreeGray #FreeMaglio That would suck! A team without Gray, Bailey, Maglio…. 😭 They have to be really careful with Puerto Rico and Mexico trending up. |

Their stars, upcoming players, players to look out for, etc. Valentin is undersized... but her placement is really good (she played with Lanier last year in Italy, with Enright) Abercrombie will be their offensive outlet. She had a great year in Germany and got picked up by a Turkish team ($$$) to get them promoted to the first team. Enright and Santana will be their outside hitters... both can be a bit unstable passing. I'm not familiar with the middles or libero. With Canada's news (No Maglio or Gray), I think Puerto Rico is NORCECA #3 coming in. (in terms of talent) until the van ryk train hits us all

Oh crap forgot about Abercrombie! Remember her at USC and that fast ball to the OPP was $$$. Looking forward to seeing her play on the international stage! Is Santana healthy? I remember she sat out a large portion of her club season because of a surgery, right? What happened to Prieto Cerame? Is she still playing? |
