9th week of Eczacıbaşı VitrA’s preparation phase has begun, as our team made a powerful start today with double practices including a joint practice with VakıfBank.
Eczacıbaşı VitrA setters Gamze Kılıç and Ezgi Dilik and middle blockers Büşra Kılıçlı and Merve Atlıer opened Week 9 with our Head Coach Marco Motta conducting passing exercises. The rest of our team, Dilara Bağcı, Güldeniz Önal and Gözde Yılmaz started the early session in the gym with our fitness coach Lenifran de Matos Santos and continued with a ball practice in which the main focus was reception.
In the late session of the day, our Team hosted VakıfBank 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 the chance to do team exercises in a period where there is a lack of players for both teams due to the ongoing World Championship, and reinforced their technical and tactical preparations as the season opening comes closer.
