As the 8th week of Eczacıbaşı VitrA’s preparation phase has begun, Eczacıbaşı VitrA players had double practices today including a joint practice with Beşiktaş.
Eczacıbaşı VitrA setters Gamze Kılıç and Ezgi Dilik opened Week 8 with our Head Coach Marco Motta conducting several technical exercises. As Gamze and Ezgi continued the early session in the gym with our fitness coach Lenifran de Matos Santos, our middle blockers Büşra Kılıçlı and Merve Atlıer, our libero Dilara Bağcı, our spiker Güldeniz Önal and our opposite Gözde Yılmaz proceeded to ball exercises focusing on defense and reception after completing the lift practice. Making a powerful start into the week, our players took a rest before the second practice of the day.
In the late session of the day, our Team hosted Beşiktaş Women’s Volleyball Team, which also competes in the Vestel Venus Sultans League in Turkey, for a joint practice at Eczacıbaşı Sports Hall. Members of Eczacıbaşı Academy U17 Team, Damla Tokman and Doğa Topçiçek, also joined the team. Both teams had not only the chance to reinforce their technical and tactical preparations for the upcoming season, but also to enjoy a match-like environment while playing short sets in game format.
