The Guyana Volleyball Federation (GVF) has announced an ambitious and action-filled calendar of activities for 2026, reinforcing its commitment to the development of volleyball at all levels across the country.
Under the theme “Peace and Unity through Sport”, the Federation’s schedule features a blend of competitions, training programmes, and developmental initiatives aimed at players, coaches, referees, and administrators.
The year officially began with the GVF Annual General Meeting on January 3, setting the tone for a busy sporting year.
Competitive action gets underway in February with the Female Club Tournament, followed in March by coaching and referee courses, highlighting the federation’s emphasis on technical development and capacity building.
The First Division Male Club Tournament is slated for April, alongside a beach volleyball tournament, reflecting the growing popularity of the discipline.
The mid-year period will see a strong focus on national representation and youth development. May features a CSV Beach Volleyball Tournament and the National B Division Tournament, while June is dedicated to the National School Tournament, providing young athletes with opportunities to compete at a national level.
July and August are expected to be among the most exciting months on the calendar, with the Premier League Finals, Inter-Guiana Games (IGG) Under-16, IGG National Championships, and the Border Games in Lethem all scheduled during this period. Additional beach volleyball tournaments will further add to the packed agenda.
International exposure remains a key priority for the Federation, with a CSV Tournament planned for September and an International Invitational Club Tournament in November, events expected to attract regional and overseas participation.
The year will conclude on a celebratory note with the GVF Appreciation Dinner on December 13, recognising athletes, officials, sponsors, and stakeholders who contributed to the growth of volleyball throughout the year.
GVF President John Flores and General Secretary Ulecia Bishop have both expressed confidence that the 2026 programme will strengthen the sport nationwide, enhance regional competitiveness, and foster unity through volleyball.
With a calendar that spans grassroots to elite competition, 2026 promises to be a landmark year for volleyball in Guyana.
