This important step forward will

allows NORCECA, as a representative of

FIVB in our continent, to continue the

development of our sport in line with the

decisions of FIVB avoiding contradictions

and profiting all of our 35 National

Federations. This vital decision ensures a

straight line of communication between

NORCECA and FIVB as well as with all of

our affiliated National Federation.

An important system to structure our

Annual Competition Calendar has been

approved granting the hosting of our major

events up to the year 2012. This rotating

system will allow all National Federations

to plan ahead the participation of their

National Teams in NORCECA’s events,

event that is held every year, The Pan-

American Women’s Cup, classifying event

New distribution of volleyball equipment

sponsored by MIKASA was approved by

year 2004. An important strategy was

established for the participation of all

affiliated National Federations in the

qualifying process for the 2006 Men and

Women World Championships.
