    Team profile

    Guaynabo Mets are the reigning champions of Puerto Rico’s Men's National Volleyball League after defeating Arecibo Captains 3-2 in the competition’s final series in February. Pablo Guzman was named the Most Valuable Player in the final series and will be a player to look out for at the FIVB Volleyball Men’s Club Championship in Belo Horizonte. Guaynabo Mets, who will make their debut in the Men’s Club Championship, will be the NORCECA representative at the competition.

    Mets coach Javier Gaspar stated his club’s aims. “Our goal and key […] is to maintain a strong and stable K-1,” he said, speaking of reception and first spike after rivals serve. “I assume we will see many strong serves that we aren’t used to here in Puerto Rico, so it is something we are going to work on.”
     
    Coach profile
    Looking ahead to the FIVB Volleyball Men’s Club Championship in Belo Horizonte, Guaynabo Mets coach Javier Gaspar emphasized the importance of a strong start to the competition for his club. “The first games are very important for us and we need to maintain a high level because they don’t know much about us. As the tournament advances and the scouting process begins, everything becomes much harder for everyone. We have to reach a great position in the pools, so we can move to the next round.”
