Just 8 years ago, 06.12.2011. a group of enthusiasts of volleyball and beach volleyball, founded the Men’s Volleyball Club (MOK UMAG-CPM UMAGO), in the foundation assembly, originally as the KOP UMAGO-BVC UMAG, and in 2015 changed its name in MOK UMAG-CPM UMAG.
During these 8 years of existence, we have done a lot for men’s volleyball, and beachyvolley, of which we are very proud, and grateful to all those who have contributed to this.
From the organization of various tournaments, summer and winter (9 summer Umag OPEN and 11 winter Umago Open, and the following year in January we have the 12th, where we expect about 50 teams), the organization of friendly competitions of the national women’s team, the volleyball basic school, the start of competitions for seniors, juniors, cadets, young cadets and mini volley, in the inter-regional league, the organization of summer camps, in addition to winning the national senior title of the 2 league national west in the 2016/17 season. and in the 2017/18 season, qualifying for the 1/8 Croatian Cup final 2018 as also in the 2019/20 season.
In 2018, we organized the Croatia Open 2018 Croatian Beach Volleyball Championship. This year we had the organization of the CEV Continetal Cup, which was as fast as qualifying for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
In addition, our CADETS this year are national beach volleyball champions for 2019 and JUNIORES national vice champions for 2019.
We have start a cooperation reports with the two most important colleges in the United States (USC and UCLA) in beach volleyball and together with the promoting company BRING IT PROMOTION, we have organized two international beach volleyball tournaments.
The main objective of the club in its work, is to work especially with young people, and we have therefore decided to spend the last three years in 2 nd league (although we had the opportunity to play in the first national league) to give young people the opportunity to play in the senior team also this year, and to expand the base of boys and cadets and younger cadets.
Today, the club has 58 active members of all ages and is especially nice to see that every year, slowly but surely, we receive new young members who join volleyball.
All this would not have been possible without the people who founded the club, whose enthusiasm and passion started all this, with the strong support of the city and its institutions, which recognized the work of the club, and the end of all those who have joined in the work, players and coaches who have contributed to the realization of this project.This is why I congratulate and thank all the members of the club (both current and former) and employees.
Thank you and happy birthday MOK UMAG-CPM UMAG
