Volleyball Thailand League 2020

  • I wouldn't be surprised if that happened. A lot other leagues has already canceled theirs too.

    it’s so serious now, even Tokyo 2020 has been affected. It’ll most probably be postponed. It’s my first season watching the Thai league, and it was quite exciting. I even saw more of the Chinese players than when they were playing in the Chinese league. If the Thai league final phase were to be cancelled...I hope Supreme, which did well in the second phase will be named champions.

  • The final round of Volleyball Thailand League is planning

    on 22-30 July 2020.


    Scheduled for 1st week of final round is as follows;

    21 Jul 2020

    13:00 Khonkaen Star VC vs Nakhon Ratchasima

    19:00 Supreme Chonburi vs 3BB Nakornnont

    22 Jul 2020

    16:00 Nakhon Ratchasima vs Supreme Chonburi

    19:00 Khonkaen Star VC vs 3BB Nakornnont

    23 Jul 2020

    16:00 3BB Nakornnont vs Nakhon Ratchasima

    19:00 Supreme Chonburi vs Khonkaen Star VC

  • I think khonkaen is the favorite to win the title. They were the only team from the top 4 teams without foreigners and still played well. They had defense both at the net and floor, plus good OH and OP too. Pornpun's addition just made khonkaen come alive in all departments.


    Supreme still depends heavily on Ajcharaporn(when healthy) Pleumjit and Wilavan to lead them. I wished they let Thanacha play more to further her development. After all, she is likely going to be part of the senior NT next year. Also excited to see if they'll let Yok Atchiaraporn(nong jade) have some play time too. She is tall(er) than most Thai players and seemed to have potential, despite her younger age. Watchareeya is good too, but doesn't jump or block very high(at least not for international games).


    Korat relies heavily on chatchu-on's and the foreign mb's performance during the regular season. Of which, chatchu-on is doing a fine job, but not enough to always win matches. If wanitchaya and other local MBs can step up, korat can fare a lot better.


    3bb has a bunch of young players. Pimpichaya, Kuttika, Boonlert sisters, the veteran setter and jutarat are the most experienced players. Sometimes they played really well and others, not so well. I guess they are the underdogs of the top 4?


    Can't wait to watch the girls in actions again.

  • Will be without foreign players or some chance they will be back?

    Double round robin or there will be semifinal and final?

    Foreign players are allowed if the teams can comply with Thailand travel restrictions and send the documents to TVA.


    It will be double round robin for final. 2nd week of final will complete on 28-30 Jul 2020. The schedule will be announced later

  • rumors are saying more than one JVL team are wanting Ajcharaporn's services next club season. It would be nice if she went to toyota and partner with Sorokaite. I think that'll be awesome. Hope it happens!

    the volleybox "added by guest" rumor mill has Ajcharaporn at either Himeji or Okayama :)


    I'd be very happy with either one of those, but Himeji is Himeji and Okayama doesn't do ... well, they don't have any money and I'll bet Ajcharaporn isn't cheap

    I have never visited that site before, though heard it mentioned here often. Is it a site like wiki that anyone could just edit/add etc.?


    Isn't there a price cap or set amount for the ASEAN players, especially first year players? Now if they come back the following year or have already known status like the fab 5, I can see their price tag wouldn't be that cheap.

    Japan salaries are closely guarded secrets. No idea about caps.


    volleybox is sort of like a wiki, most often without any sources, but everything is supposed to be approved by an Admin. Transfers are scrutinized more carefully. It's also a very Euro-centric site so Asian stuff is a little loose. Those rumors have no sources (not even a gossip page), so if they get approved by a Euro, I'll delete them until I see sources.


    Thai fans often get a little jumpy with rumors. They also sometimes give awards to Thai players just for kicks just like at Wikipedia :rolll:


    volleybox also just added rumors of Pimpichaya at Hisamitsu, Chatchu-on at Denso and back at PFU, and Jarasporn Bundasak at JT.

  • Agreed about the thai fans lol...funny and amusing, but just shows their great love for the sport and players, still:rolll: though


    Jarasaporn could work for JT if it eventually comes true.


    I thought Denso had 4T?

  • I thought Denso had 4T?

    She announced her resignation yesterday :(

  • that's unfortunate, but make sense too. SEA games 30th is hosted next year by Vietnam, so guess they want to keep their main player as safe as possible till then. And they will get a new cuban coach soon. I could imagine how dangerous 4T can become under a good coach and training course.

  • I don’t think it’s fair to say Thai fans are jumpy. The only place I saw that takes those rumors seriously is here. Talking about Acharaporn going to Italy league is so outdated and not even funny anymore. And that is not even from a Thai.


    Even in Thai webboard, everything is flying strictly as rumors. No one takes those rumors seriously.


    Just saying ?(

    As a contributor to many Wikipedia pages who gets notified any time a change is made, and as an Mod at volleybox, and as a super anal dude who cherishes sources, I see it often. I think it's endearing, though. Thai fans are some of the best in the world. I can't say if they are more jumpy contributing to sites of (supposed) record than Lithuanians or the Dutch, for example, because I don't participate there.


    No disrespect intended. I'm envious of Thai fans :drink:
