Blending Experience and Youth: Fiji Airways Fijian 7s’ Path to Oceania Glory
Preparation for the Upcoming Tournament
The development team of Fiji Airways Fijian 7s is gearing up for the Oceania Sevens tournament, aiming to amalgamate seasoned athletes with emerging talent. Scheduled for December 7-8 in the Solomon Islands, this event is pivotal as the team seeks to establish itself on an international stage.
Experienced Leadership Essential
Coach Viliame Satala highlighted that integrating veteran players is crucial for fostering a supportive environment for novice members. Their leadership will be vital in enhancing confidence among younger teammates while navigating the high-stakes atmosphere characteristic of global competitions. “Involving experienced players allows them to take charge and guide newcomers, particularly when competing against international squads,” Satala remarked.
Commitment to Excellence
The squad has committed itself rigorously during training sessions, maintaining stringent standards despite being a developmental team. The participants are enthusiastic about demonstrating their abilities and making a mark at this significant tournament.
With just days left until they step onto the field in the Solomon Islands, both seasoned and new players are readying themselves to compete fiercely, treating this tournament with an intensity akin to that of HSBC Sevens Series events.
