In order to prepare for the first round of the national volleyball championship 2016 (held in Yen Bai and Hai Duong Province in early April), the athletes of Sanest Khanh Hoa recently came to Hanoi to take part in a long-term training course. Within the course, the team will join some small-scale tournaments to acquaint the athletes with the weather conditions and courses as well as improve athletes’ physical fitness.
According to Trieu Tu Thien, Head Coach of Sanest Khanh Hoa, Sanest Khanh Hoa participates in this year’s championship with a line-up which includes athletes of equal skill and strength, comparing to previous years. The team’s athletes have been in a good and stable health condition, working hard at practice to prepare for the tournament. Reportedly, beside friendly matches with teams of the north, Sanest Khanh Hoa will play games against semi-pro teams at some small-scale tournaments held in the neighborhood surrounding Hanoi.
At this championship, Sanest Khanh Hoa will strive to gain the highest prize in order to meet the expectation of the management and fans. Last season, the team finished the championship at second place. It could be considered as an encouraging result for the effort of Sanest Khanh Hoa because the team had not been evaluated as a formidable squad compared to other ones due to the players’ age and injuries.
The professionals believe that the first round of the 2016 national volleyball championship will take place with many surprises resulting from the changes of Vietnam’s volleyball. Sanest Khanh Hoa is also expected to show excellent performances with its ever outstanding line-up, including Ngo Van Kieu, Tu Thanh Thuan, Nguyen Van Phong, Bui Cong Tuan Anh, Nguyen Ngoc Khang, Nguyen Huu Nghia, Tran Trien Chieu, Le Tan Thong, Nguyen Thanh Dat, Bui Thien Men and Huynh Trung Truc, etc.
