The net seems to be very high for the Peruvian Volleyball Federation. Every achievement costs double in a federation that lives in a permanent crisis due to debts, which make this sport walk on shifting sands. However, the U23 team has just won the silver medal in the Junior Pan American Games. This makes us think that there is a horizon to reach.
"This team has gone to compete thanks to the support of third parties. It has been a great effort from the players," says José Geldres, administrator of the specialized portal Volley 360.
