With heavy hearts and profound respect, the NAVS Volleyball Club mourns the passing of a true icon of the court—Sir John Ballenas.
Sir John was more than just a volleyball enthusiast; he was a mentor, a trainer, and a coach who shaped not only players but people. His passion was the heartbeat of every game, and his dedication to the sport left an indelible mark on everyone he coached.
Though he has played his final set, his legacy remains deeply rooted in the Dulungan nest. He taught us that the game is won through discipline, heart, and a relentless drive for improvement. Today, the whistles are silent, but the echoes of his guidance will resonate in our volleyball court forever.
Rest in peace, Coach. Your NVC family will never forget you. 🏐🕊️
