The Dominica National Team will not go any were … the team need to be picked by a pro… who have had international training but for sure not ALBERT LOBLACK it have to long and we need a change.
… Having three (3) playes missing from the team should not make a difference if they all practice very hard and all played hard the way they should and not have person on the sideline and play the one he prefer. The Dominica Volley Ball Association need to have lots and lots of review. ALBERT LOBLACK NEEDS TO GO
National players should be respected and afforded then required status, all of are are happy when the team wins and raise the flag high ,government must put legislation to ensure that they get time off, maybe paying half of the wages or deducting it from the employers taxes but in 2010 time to rectify that
In this day and age why our national team members can’t get Time off from work to represent their country. This is bull shit. Is things like that the government should get involve in and put their foot down,weather is the privite sector or the government itself. This has been going on for way too long. It is not like they going on a vacation. They are going to represent DOMINICA.
@Excuses, excuses: Why don’t you sign-up – sound like you would
make all the difference – go for it – LMAO
Always making excuses. Full team or half team would have been same result,
