CHAVES Ronaldo Tadeu BRA (PVPA)

Ronaldo Tadeu started with WOVD/World ParaVolley in 2006 in Niterói, Rio de Janeiro when he took the International Referee Course.

In WOVD/WPV the person who had the greatest influence on his development was Mr Gaby Lotan, a special person both on and off court. He also changed his life as a person, for which he will always be grateful.
