The ever affable David Toussaint, born and raised in Pointe Michel, has been playing volleyball for the last thirty years.

Mr. Toussaint’s involvement in the field of volleyball has borne tremendous fruit. As a player, he has been a member of four volleyball teams including the Pointe Michel Wolf Pack. On a national level, he has also been a member of the Dominica National Volleyball Team for the last twenty five years, twelve of which he served as Captain. 

When it comes to coaching, Mr Toussaint is one of the best instructors around. Under his careful and thorough eye, the male team he coached has won ten National League Championships, and the female team has won seventeen. Mr Toussaint has also been busy teaching new generations of young volleyball players, helping various school teams to complete the arduous training and understand the necessity of clear communication and solid teamwork. Under his tutelage, both the male and female teams he has coached have each won the Intershools Tournament seven times.
