Tatara Bathrooms Rabat Volleyball Team

Darren Giordmaina, has been involved in the local volleyball scene from 1989. From his own past experiences he knows well that sport plays a very important role in a person’s healthy life, both physically and psychologically. He hails from Rabat so it is of no surprise that although he had past successes with other teams, he wants to get that same success with his hometown team. So he set the ball rolling for the all-female team.  

Firstly he formed a committee consisting of just four persons that he blindly trusts and he is more than sure that are always there when needed. The committee members are Phyllis Micallef, Kelly Gauci, Brigitte Cauchi and himself. Together they tried their luck to find a sponsorship for the team. And their hard work did pay off because they not only managed to find one sponsor but two. And this has been an achievement when one considers that it happened in a few weeks time from the formation of the committee. These sponsors are Tatara Bathrooms and Punch & Judy Club which are both situated in Rabat.

The team had already attracted the attention of some female players that wanted a new challenge. Darren, as a coach, wanted some extra help with regards to the on-the-field issues. So he appointed Alexandra Meier as an assistant coach and Phyllis Micallef and Alexia Vella Deguara as captains. Joining this well-united team, Malcolm Bartolo has been appointed as fitness coach.

And their commitment is already showing up. The squad organized a fund-raising activity which was well-organized and it gave the team the financial support that they constantly need.

Presently there are 19 female players that form part of this squad. The squad trains two times a week at two different venues. The team will participate in the 2^nd divison league organized by the Malta Volleyball Association. 

Everyone in this squad knows that they must work hard and be determined to achieve the much-desired success. The players know that they need to be at their best in every game and they know that they have the 100% support from the committee members and coaching staff. They are all focused on their prime target i.e. to be league champions come March 2012

And if they keep on doing this on the long run, Darren’s and the team’s dream will turn to reality sooner rather than later.
