🇧🇿🏐 A PROUD MOMENT FOR BELIZEAN VOLLEYBALL! 🏐🇧🇿
We’re thrilled to celebrate Ernest Broaster Jr., standout star of the Belize Men’s National Volleyball Team, as he officially begins his professional volleyball career with Goiás Esporte Clube in Brazil! 🇧🇷🔥
Ernest, a recent graduate of Cornerstone University in Michigan, has signed a one-year contract and is already in Brazil training ahead of the Superliga season start on October 24. The Superliga Brasileira de Voleibol is Brazil’s top-tier volleyball league, known for its elite competition and world-class athletes. Ernest is now part of a system that’s helping refine his technical skills and elevate his game to the next level.
🏐 About Goiás Esporte Clube
Based in Goiânia, Goiás EC is a respected multi-sport club with a growing volleyball division. Competing in the Superliga means Ernest is now among some of the best volleyball talents in the world.
🌟 A Legacy of Excellence
Ernest is arguably Belize’s top volleyball player, both indoor and on the beach, and he comes from a proud sports lineage. His father, Ernest Broaster Sr., was a dominant two-sport athlete in basketball and volleyball during the mid-90s and early 2000s.
But behind every great athlete is often a pillar of strength—and we must celebrate Tifarah Gill, Ernest’s incredible mother. Her unwavering love and support throughout his journey ensured that Ernest never lacked anything, allowing him to focus fully on his academics and athletics. Her dedication has been instrumental in shaping the young man we see today.
🏐 A New Chapter for Belizean Volleyball
Ernest becomes only the second homegrown Belizean to go pro in volleyball, following Bryton Codd’s trailblazing season in Finland three years ago. This is a monumental leap for our sport, and Ernest’s best years are still ahead.
Let’s rally behind him, celebrate his journey, and show the world the strength of Belizean talent. From college star to pro athlete—Ernest Broaster Jr. is just getting started!
💚💛 Cheer him on, share the news, and let’s keep building the future of volleyball in Belize!
