Volleyball came to us through the schools we host. Girls and boys teams from Argentina have toured New Zealand with us, playing school sides in each region they visit.
We line up matches against schools at the right level, sometimes two opponents in one session so everyone gets court time, with training on school and stadium courts in between.
It travels well with other sports, which is why most of our volleyball teams arrive as part of a bigger school group.
Chile sits just across the Andes from Argentina, and that is how we approach it: as one leg of a South American tour. A team gets two countries, two styles of opposition and one continuous trip.
What sports do they play in Chile? Football comes first, and tennis has given the country a world number one and Olympic gold medals. Rugby is growing fast since the national side played at its first World Cup in 2023, hockey is a mainstay of Santiago's schools, and basketball has its heartland in the south.
Santiago is the base, with the mountains on one side and the Pacific on the other. Rugby and hockey are where our plans for Chile are furthest along.
If you want Chile on its own, or for another sport, ask us and we will tell you what we can honestly put together.
