Sanna Khanh Hoa under the coaching of Thai Quang Lai has completed preparation for the upcoming tournaments with the aim at winning the fifth national championship title.
In seven seasons playing at the playgrounds for young volleyball clubs, Sanna Khanh Hoa has asserted their position as one of the strongest young clubs in Vietnam with four championship titles at the national tournaments (three consecutive championships from 2014 to 2016). Many young athletes of Sanna Khanh Hoa have also been promoted to play for the provincial professional team, Sanest Khanh Hoa. Some most outstanding young athletes of Sanna Khanh Hoa who have proved their ability and been highly appreciated in the uniform of Sanest Khanh Hoa include Van Phong, Van Kiet, Thanh Phong, Quoc Doan, and Van Tien, etc.
This season, Sanna Khanh Hoa also prepared well in order to achieve the goals. The team had a good start at the National Volleyball Tournament for A-level Teams (held in Vinh Long from April 29 to May 5) with a ticket for the semi-finals (taking place in Quang Binh in July).
At present, the team is practicing for the National Junior Volleyball Tournament organized in Quang Tri Province from May 20 to June 3. According to Thai Quang Lai, the athletes are showing a high determination and actively practicing although their opponents have not been revealed yet (the draw is made on May 19).
Thai Quang Lai is having high expectation for the three young players, Van Tien, Minh Khuyen and Phuoc Loi. “These players are hitting their stride. I hope that they will keep showing their good form stably in the upcoming matches, so that they can be promoted to Sanest Khanh Hoa,” said Lai.
Tran Quang Thuong, Director of Khanh Hoa Provincial Sports Technique Training Center, highly appreciated the efforts of Sanna Khanh Hoa in training young players as well as the team’s contributions in promoting Khanh Hoa’s volleyball in Vietnam.
