And the celebration continues!🎉🎉 We are so proud of these two young ladies Kijana Callwood and Lyssa Lys - Alyssa Hawley who represented Firebirds and the Virgin Islands sitting on the National Senior Team for BVI in attendance of the ECVA Championship women’s and Men’s games Aug 2026!
Again we thank the Virgin Islands Volleyball Association and ECVA - Eastern Caribbean Volleyball Association for these platforms and pathways which provided our athletes with opportunities to surpass their limits and perform on a grand stage. These avenues provide them with new connections and pathways for further schooling and career opportunities in the sports world.
After having a word with Kijana about her experience she highlighted that the training period leading up to the tournament had been well received and that she learned a lot and was able to gain more insight on what she needed to dial in on to improve her own skills and game awareness.
She also made deeper connections with some of her teammates. She thought that the tournament execution was pretty good in comparison to some of the experiences she’s had traveling elsewhere in a similar capacity. Kijana has been accepted and will be attending Sumter University in South Carolina come January 2027🎉👩🎓📚 Congratulations again Kijana!🎉🐦🔥🐦🔥 After having a word with Alyssa about her experience she expressed “Training leading up to the tournament was good.
We trained in spaces that helped a lot with ball control and being aware of your surroundings. The Coaching Staff worked us out very well.” In reference to the tournament she added “ The Tournament was a great experience for my first time. My Team faught a good fight especially in the match against Bermuda.
We definiely had our fingertips on Gold but maybe if training starter from last year we would've gelled more.” Alyssa hasn’t yet settled on her school of choice but is looking forward to finalizing that decision soon as she continues on her volleyball journey. To Alyssa we also say congratulations 🎉 🐦🔥🐦🔥 To learn more about the composition of the teams and their performances throughout the games, check out the ECVA’s website and additional resources - ecvavolleyball.com #VIfirebirds #welovevolleyball #BVIEvents #Keeptheballflying #ECVA #VIVA #celebrateyourathletes #womeninsports #empoweringwomen
