Tavana, 25 years old, 203 cm in height, was born in Auckland (New Zealand) in a family of athletes, but grew up in Saipipi (the island of Samoa), and developed sporting qualities on Kauai Island (Hawaii).
Guido Molinaroli, the President of Copra Elior Piacenza stated: “Tencati and Holt are two very good athletes, they got the skills and qualities the team needs. The employment of Tavana, considered as one of the best young talented players, is the addition to the middle-blockers department.“
