Even more - also INTERESTING AND IMPORTANT!

This World Champonship wemen under 23 years tries to return the 4 of 7 games in volleyball!

This is experimental and the purpose is to be played less minutes as games are up to 7,

but points wanted are not 25 but 15 ....

what do you think, which system is better - the old or the "experimental'?!

 I'm with experimental , if they return service as usual , because it's one of volleyball major skills that can't be modified , these new rules really help small countries to compete with big ones and make big results

We had a historic victory in women's u23 wch , the 1st for Africa in tournament after defeating Thailand 4-2 , now a victory over Argentina will put us in 5-8 placement matches , we also lost hardly to Dominican Republic 4-2 , after leading 14-11 in 6th set and took 2 sets from China , despite absence of 2 of our major players

IRAAAN  Another victory in the Grand Champions Cup, this time against the United States. They have 2/2 wins and  still have to play against the weakest Japan so perhaps this is the tournament Iran will finally win a medal in

Not really surprising after the EC. Hopefully PZPS will hire a decent coach this time. I heard Mauro Berruto is looking for a job in NT...

I heard that for the first time since "x" years coach of this team will be any Polish coach... I don't like this idea at all, seeing what Polish coaches did with women's team.

Yes that would be a honestly terrible choice. Teams with polish coaches achieved weak results in last year plusliga, so I don't see any of the coaches taking over our team (and especially not Jacek Nawrocki). Maybe Sebastian Pawlik would be a decent assistant coach, seeing as he did great job with junior team, but I would not trust him with taking over senior team either.
