Three fun facts of the ECVA…Did you know?🏐

The Eastern Caribbean Volleyball Association (ECVA) is made up of 14 member countries, including Anguilla, Antigua & Barbuda, BVI, Dominica, Saint Lucia, St. Vincent & the Grenadines, and more — all working together to grow volleyball across the region.

From Anguilla (AGU) to Grenada (GRN), the ECVA uses three-letter codes for every member — perfect for tournament lineups?

Saint Lucia, Antigua & Barbuda, and the British Virgin Islands all joined the ECVA in the 1980s — the foundation of Caribbean volleyball?
