Volleyball Thailand League 2020-2021

is Nootsara confirmed for Diamond food?

Probably due to her higher than average player's fees and the economy isn't at its best, maybe she will only play the second leg or final 4?

I also saw some news of some possible foreign players, namely Ramirez, Leyva and the Russian player that is seemingly going to 3bb. From a video I saw of the Russian girl, she is decent, but nothing dangerous looking. Time will tell if she will contribute or not to the team.

Where is Ajcharaporn playing this season? I feel kinda sorry for her. She was supposed to be Thai’s next big star but seems to always be overdhadowed by Willavan & Onuma. Now Chatchuon & Pimpichaya seem to be the brighter young talents that will lead Thai NT in Paris2024 cycle.

Thailand still can be lethal in SEA region with Pornpun, Thatdao, Ajcharaporn, Catchuon, & Pimpichaya in the starting line up. However, the receiving line will be disastrous. 😂 Doesn’t Thailand has any good receiving coach?

Btw, where is Hattaya? She was very lethal back then. Is she still playing?

As far as the SEA region goes, Thailand is still way ahead of any other nation, so they won't have to worry too much yet.

After Ajcharaporn didn't make it the KOVO league, she stayed in Supreme again. I was hoping she would go to the JVL this season because there were rumors of several clubs wanting her service, but nothing happened. So I don't know if there was any truth or not to that.

Chatchu-on is the more stable receiver of those 3. So if Ajcharaporn is healthy, she will likely be 2nd OH more often than not. She isn't Gabi or Bosetti stable, but she will do fine.

I was wondering why Ajcharaporn hasnt played in Japan or Korea yet especially back in 2014-2016 when she was very hot. I like her a lot. She has power and her vertical is quite good. Hopefully she steps up her receiving game. Will Thai use the 4 person receiving system or use Pimpichaya to receive in Opp position to cover Ajcharaporn?

They don't have a Zhu Ting or Egnou type of player, so I think they will always use the 4 person receiving system. Their closet "Zhu and Egnou " type of player is Ajcharaporn. As a 1st OH or when she plays OP, she is pretty much protected from most receiving duties, unless they try to serve it to her.

They still can hide her from receiving even if she plays OH right? That way Pimpichaya can stay play as Opp coz she is most efficient on that side

Yes, as a 1st OH she can, since chatchu-on would do receiving duties as a 2nd OH. Pimpichaya can stay as OP as long as all 3 of them are healthy at the same time. Like for example, when only 2 of those 3 are healthy, Ajcharaporn's usually plays OP while one of the veterans plays as OH. But if all 3 are in good shape, its usually Ajcharaporn (OH1), Chatchu-on (OH2) and Pimpichaya (OP).

They need to focus on the conditioning of these players. They are still young & with lots of talent. All of them can bring a new wave of success to Thailand. Do Thailand NT has conditioning or nutrition coach?

For some reason I can't find the Thailand NT thread so I'll ask here. Who's next in line after Pornpun? Not a fan of Kullapa. Is Soraya Phomla in there? Who else is got buzz?

Volleyball is very popular in Thailand and they take it rather seriously, though they may not have the best trainers and coaches around. I'm sure they have conditioning and nutrition coaches around to help the NT players.

Yeah not much of fan of Kullupa either.

Not sure what's up with soroya, she hasn't been called to the NT training since after WGP 16/17. I can only assume she has some kind of serious health related issues that is keeping her from being part of the NT. As for talents after Pornpun, I think Natthanicha Jaisaen and Parichat Intharasit are next in line. Though I would like to see Tichaya be next, but that might not happened. She is taller at 179cm and can help with block better, but she is inconsistent and often times(at least during clubs) as you mentioned with Kullapa, "flat footed"

Women: Supreme vs Samutprakarn

Women: 3BB Nakornnont vs KhonKaen Star VC

Supreme had an easy win. The only player from the other team that can score, was #20. I hope her team gets better as the season progress.

3bb has too many predictable settings and getting blocked time and time again. I think they should have started with Parichat instead of either Tichaya or Supatcha. Both Tichaya and Supatcha doesn't really jump set, but just stand and set.....so idk if that's a style that is taught at 3bb, but it's to predictable that way.

Khonkaen on the other hand, has a nice setter. I think she is also part of the nt training roster.

Unfortunately, Soraya has quite serious health issue. She was called to the NT and had to quit due to health problem. She mentioned that the NT practice was too demanding for her conditions and playing in league suited her better career-wise.

I think Khonkaen’s setter is quite good. I hope she makes the NT camp next year.

from this past weekend 12/12-12/13

Diamond vs Proflex

Korat vs Rangsit University

chatchu-on is doing a fine job leading her team their first win, but it's Rangsit University, so it's pretty much a given. Though Rangsit University (RSU) didn't just give in, they fought for every point of theirs. I think if not for their lack of height, they would be a pretty decent team to beat top teams or at least go the distance.

Nice seeing diamond start with younger players. Thanacha was starter, she did an ok job. Not sure if she should stick to OH or go back to her original OP position 🤔...either way, looks like she have improved. She is faster, her attacking is stronger and even seemed more aware of her options of attack. Doesn't just keep hitting straight into the blocks as much. 😆 I like that the young starting OP of diamond does a jump serve, must be Onuma's influenced 😆, she still needs work, but can see her being helpful in the long run.

Proflex, nice to see being in the nt training camp and training with Supreme have improved Bai toey. She is also faster, stronger and jump higher. She still got a ways to, go but good job. It's too bad she won't stay in proflex for the entire league, as she was only loaned to them. I much rather see her play her entire season in 1 team. She will keep getting to be starter at Proflex, but might be a benched once back with Supreme.

Thanacha is playing OH? Did she play MB before? For some reason I have this image in my head of her playing MB with PFU last year, although she didn't play much

And for my own edification, when you say "original OP" position, do mean nothing more than non-receiving OH or do you mean "hits primarily from the right side of the court"?
