Six teams to fight for #EuroVolleyU17W spot at EEVZA qualifier in Latvia
News
The local Kids and Youth Sports School in Daugavpils will be playing host from December 6-10 to the 2022 edition of the Eastern European Volleyball Zonal Association (EEVZA) U17 Women’s Championship – which doubles as a first-round qualifier for next year’s #EuroVolleyU17W as well.
The national teams of Estonia, Georgia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, and Ukraine take part in the tournament. The teams will compete for EEVZA medals in one single round robin, with the winners qualifying for the final stage of next year’s #EuroVolleyU17W in Serbia and Hungary. The teams finishing second to fifth will contest the second round of qualifications in April 2023.
Daniele Capriotti“All 14 girls on the roster are ready for the competition. Not even one is a reserve player, since all girls are good and skilled enough to take to the court – this is very important for the team to achieve great results. Our main goal in Daugavpils is to show that we are ready now, and we will not be saving energy for the next round. It is also important to clarify what still needs to be done before the next qualification round.”
Head coach of Team Latvia
