Our Team started the week with a morning session including both ball and weight practices. Having begun with the jumping exercises, our players have had two double sessions this week. The double sessions included a ball practice in the evening which has been done in form of a training match with Sarıyer Belediyespor, in order to increase the amount of players training together. Besides Büşra Kılıçlı, Gözde Yılmaz, Gamze Kılıç, Güldeniz Önal, Ezgi Dilik and Dilara Bağcı, two young players from our U17 Team, Doğa Topçiçek and Damla Tokman, have supported our Team during the training matches, in which the main focus was to reinforce both teams’ technical and tactical preparations for the upcoming season.
As they built a main part of the past few weeks’ practices, individual exercises such as receiving free balls, doing backcourt defense, serving and special exercises with setters have been in the weekly plan again.
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 respective National Teams, will start to work with the rest of the team at our club when the World Championship is over. Merve Atlıer, who will play for a bronze medal today at U19 Girls European Volleyball Championship with the National Team, will participate in the new season preparations by the middle of September.
