newbeach Veltman is Lowkey lighting up the Serbian league in the middle. (I know it’s not a top league or anything but she does look strong in highlight videos I’ve seen and some friends more familiar with the league have been very impressed with her and I trust their judgement so I just thought I’d share) she should get a look for the NT. better than Howe at passing. that's not a high bar sksksk Ogoms is having a good season in France too.

(I know it’s not a top league or anything but she does look strong in highlight videos I’ve seen and some friends more familiar with the league have been very impressed with her and I trust their judgement so I just thought I’d share) she should get a look for the NT. She actually played on the NT. KVR, Maglio, and Veltman started at the same time (it was Abbondanza's second year with the Canada NT). Maglio beat her out for travel team that year. Then following year, Black was coach and he asked her to play on the NextGen Team and she said no and didn't play NT that summer. Then, last year Winzer asked her out again. She was going to play and then at the last minute said no because she wanted more time off in the summer (She is from Ontario and the team is based on the West Coast). I am not sure if she is going to get asked out again. I think she is a top 3 middle on the team. Her and Maglio would be a good pairing, but I think Winzer will play Cross. I could see her doing something stupid like sitting Maglio instead of Cross. I know in the Serbian League she has been hitting from the left and right sometimes . They use her a lot on offensively. She actually played both middle and OPP back in school/college. She plays beach volleyball as well, so her passing isn't bad. What would be interesting is if she came out and played OH and displaced Howe or Mitrovic. Or, KVR played on the left in college....KV could play OPP (Maglio and Cross in the middle). KV and KVR should be at least as good or better than Howe and Mitrovic at passing. yep I’ve also seen her hit on the pins in serve receive which really surprised me. She’s very versatile and very consistent. I think winzer really needs to get her in the gym again. She could help them out I’m sure of it. Also do you even know how she ended up in the Serbian league ? That just seems very odd haha. Most players in the league are locals and the ones who aren’t are mostly Cubans. A Canadian playing there just seems against the norm haha

A Canadian playing there just seems against the norm haha Her agent is Turkish. She played for Aydin season before last. She did decent but not really great and it can be difficult for a foreign middle to get on a team sometimes in Turkey. She was also going to play beach last year and then it was a bit of a late decision to continue indoor for another season.

Well she’s having a great season and while it’s not Italy or turkey the Serbian league is still full of young talented locals so it could be worse

So, maybe getting reps at another position was part of the plan... Yes, no doubt a lot of talent in the Serbian League right now.

Korea released their 16-person roster for VNL. Some names that got a lot of playing time from last year are missing, I'm guessing due to injury because for some reason there are a lot of injured athletes. I bolded the names of who I think will be starting.
EDIT: Former 2012 Olympian Han Yoo Mi has joined the staff as an assistant coach.
OH Kang So Hwi (GS Caltex) Kim Da Eun (Heungkuk) Kim Mi Yeon (Heungkuk) Park Jeong Ah (Hi-Pass) Jung Ji Yoon (Hyundai) *as an OPP probably Pyo Seung Ju (IBK)
OPP Moon Ji Yoon (GS Caltex)
MB Park Eun Jin (KGC) Jung Ho Young (KGC) Lee Da Hyun (Hyundai) Lee Joo Ah (Heungkuk)
S Kim Da In (Hyundai) Yum Hye Son (KGC) Kim Ji Won (GS Caltex)
L Moon Jung Won (Hi-Pass) Shin Yeon Gyung (IBK)
