Quote from Matthias

Looking at this, I'm surprised not to see Ruddins, Speech and Hentz

I was told some players weren't available because of club duty. I think Ruddins may fall into that group... but I would be disappointed if she wasn't.

Hentz I believe may have been health reasons.

Quote from Matthias

I don't see why Schwerin would refuse to let her participate in NT training, after all their German and Dutch NT players also are absent.

That's true.

But this roster also may be used for the Pan Am cup. (It got moved up to Sept 11-20) so who knows... I'll ask to see if they know about her. That would be disappointing to not see her

they weren’t sure about Ruddins. They said a ton of players weren’t asked but many had to turn it down because of the bad timing (I’m assuming this roster is going to the Pan Ams too then)

Trying to find roster info and all I'm finding is NORCECA's president still complaining about DR's performance in the Olympics

He was mad they lost in 5 sets to both the Brazilians and Korea (who ended up in 2nd/4th place)

like... does someone not know how draws work? you literally had the winners in the quarterfinals

Quote from akitoakie

What is this competition? Is this the same with South American Championship? Sorry for being clueless.

It starts the 23rd I think (maybe the 24th)

It'll be pool play and then top 2 from each pool advance to the semifinals... that's all I got cause #NORCECA

Larson won’t be there, but DLC should be

Quote from Mapuan

Isn't she too old to try for NT duties? Not that I'm against it but moving forward with young ones for the next Olympic cycle.

they need athletes in the gym/for the tournament. I don't think she'll have any team USA presence beyond this tournament and Pan Am cup... Kramer is there and she's retired

Quote from Volleylurker

Will the games be covered? Is it going to be available on youtube or some other site?

The men's tournament is being streamed on facebook, so hopefully there are streams there.. but it is NORCECA

Quote from akitoakie

Can you share the FB link please?

I also couldn’t seem to find the Men’s NORCECA thread

is there even a men's NORCECA thread lol there's not too many NORCECA'ers here
