In line with their CSR programmes to promote healthy living habits, MSV Life and Mapfre Middlesea have embarked on an initiative to help Phoenix Sports Club set up a youth beach volley academy that provides skills necessary for young athletes to play this sport.

The club’s president Orlando Bonnici said the development followed on the success of Phoenix’s work with its indoor volleyball nursery, which this season was crowned national volleyball champion in the under-14 and under-16 categories.

“The club’s philosophy places a strong emphasis on the development of young athletes in all the sports disciplines we practise. In this case we recognised that a growing number of our young indoor volleyball players were developing an interest for beach volleyball, which is a growing sport all over the world. With this in mind our professional volleyball coaching staff have developed a programme aimed at developing the skills needed for this sport,” Bonnici said.

MSV Life’s CEO David Curmi said beach volley had developed into a high-profile, glamorous sport and enjoyed great visibility on beaches around the world, including Malta.
