Eczacıbaşı VitrA speeds up the preparations as the 5th week of the pre-season has come to an end.
In the past week, Our Team had morning sessions which were done in two separate groups, such as the setters Gamze Kılıç and Ezgi Dilik and the rest of the team, Büşra Kılıçlı, Güldeniz Önal, Gözde Yılmaz and Dilara Bağcı. The morning sessions including individual exercises with ball and weight practices have been followed by late sessions, which started with various circuit trainings and continued with exercises over the net to reinforce the setter-spiker adaptation. Also this week, Our Team had a joint practice with Sarıyer Belediyespor to have more players training together and increase the quality of technical and tactical preparations for the upcoming season.
Our Team has continued its daily routines within the ball practices; backcourt defense to attacks coming parallel to the side line, diagonal, powerful diagonal and from behind the 3-meter line. Moreover, practices including free balls, serve and reception were done on a daily basis.
Our Captain Jordan Larson, Meliha İsmailoğlu, Simge Şebnem Aköz, Beyza Arıcı, Yeon-Koung Kim, Lauren Gibbemeyer and Tijana Boskovic, who currently prepare for the upcoming FIVB Volleyball World Championship with their own National Teams, will start to work with the rest of the team at our club when the World Championship is over. Merve Atlıer, who has won the 4th place at U19 Girls European Volleyball Championship with the National Team, will participate in the new season preparations in the following days.
