Darius Lewis serves as the Vice President of the Montserrat Volleyball Association (MVA), a leader whose journey is defined by a deep commitment to national service and a relentless drive to see volleyball thrive on his home soil. His path is rooted in the discipline he developed early on, joining the Montserrat Secondary School (MSS) Cadet Corps in 2008. He eventually rose to the rank of Cadet Sergeant Major before transitioning to the Royal Montserrat Defence Force (RMDF), where he continues to serve as a Corporal. Having represented both organizations abroad, Darius brings a unique level of military discipline and institutional knowledge to the world of sports administration.
Darius’s influence on the sport began long before he held an executive title. In 2012, as a student at MSS, he was part of a dedicated group of students who successfully campaigned for volleyball’s inclusion in the school’s annual sports meet, a move that helped establish a competitive foundation for the sport. This passion carried him through his college years and led to him representing Montserrat as a national player at the 2016 ECVA Indoor Volleyball tournament in Antigua.
Recognizing that the sport needed a new technical foundation to combat the challenges of athlete migration, Darius shifted his focus toward coaching and grassroots development. In 2024, he attended a Beach Volleyball Coaching Course in St. Kitts, returning home with a singular mission to reinvigorate the local scene. By October of that year, he had mobilized a new generation of youth for regular indoor training, proving his commitment to rebuilding the sport’s participation base from the ground up.
Following his participation in the ECVA Development Workshop in St. Kitts in December 2025, Darius returned to Montserrat and was officially voted in as Vice President of the Association. Since taking office, he has transformed that mandate into strategic action, focusing on expanding the sport’s reach within the school system and increasing community engagement. By bridging the gap between his experience as a national athlete and his background in disciplined service, Darius Lewis is dedicated to establishing a sustainable structure that will elevate Montserrat volleyball to a higher level of regional excellence.
