4/2/2014 - AMSTERDAM - -- The
men's and women's U.S. Air Forces in Europe and Air Forces Africa
volleyball teams competed in the Headquarters Allied Air Command
Inter-Nation Sports Programme Volleyball Championships in Amsterdam,
March 25 - 27, 2014.
The tournament brought together six NATO countries for a little friendly competition.
The competition aims to reinforce the mutual respect and goodwill that exists between these nations.
"That's what the whole goal of it is, because these are all Air Force
members from six other nations coming together and competing," said Dawn
Pierce, Headquarters USAFE fitness and sports coordinator. "There is a
lot of friendship in sports and this culminates one of the greatest
opportunities we have to be with our NATO partners and just enjoy each
other."
Members from the U.S., Poland, England, Germany, the Netherlands and
Belgian air forces participated in the multi-day event ending with the
championship game on March 27.
The USAFE women's team retained their undefeated record placing first overall, while the men's team placed third.
