Well Bartol to speak about Dominican Republic form in prisme of Norceca is without sense because only USA has non-Norceca level so You may beat Cuba- as in qualification to OG or Puerto Rico- as in 2009 Norceca Champs also in bad form.

If We speak about Olympic Games- when did You see good form? During matches vs Algeria or Great Britain?

No, form doesn't mean results. Form means level of the game. In Olympic Games Dominican Republic was on good form, but they weren't enough good to beat Italy or Russia (they played good matches against them) or USA.

It doesn't matter... they won NORCECA title 2009 with good form and silver medal in 2011 in good form too, so sorry. Don't forget that this is still young team. The best performance will be in Rio or even in 2020. Young players are so talented, so just wait for get experience and will be ideal.

Your post borned new question- when hadn't Dominican Republic bad form over since 2004?

2012 (Olympic Games and qualifications), in 2011 (Norceca championships -2nd place), 2009 (Norceca championship - 1st place).. do you want more?

Quote from MiguelNR

Is this tournament official?
There's no qualification system, no host city, no date, no month. The only thing we know is that it will be this year and Mexico will be the host country but nothing more

Date is 2-14th October.

Quote from USAvolleyfan

I'm also negatively surprised by Dominican, I mean they really have no progress and they have good players.. Brenda is the best libero in the world IMO, Rivera is a good OH can both receive and spike, De la Cruz is really strong spiker (although after the WC her form got down..) Mambru is a good opposite, good serve strong spikes... Vargas is or should I say was good MB, now she's not anything special but other positive thing in Dom Rep. is Arias! She is very young I remember her watching at the Junior level and now she is starting MB in senior and she is good.. she should be transfered by some club here in Europe and she could be a monster.... so I really have no idea why this team is not competitive.. with these individual they for sure can compete with USA and Brazil - not beat them but they can play and they always lose.. Only big problem is the setter position...

I don't agree with Bartek, because this team from past years improved a lot. Now they have bad form, but I hope on Norceca championship they'll show them real performance.

If in the six will play Marte, Yonkaira, Fersola... I'm sure this team will be good... just coach can't be blind and with them.. game of the team is definitelly better.

And here is not problem with setter, because if he gave chance to play for Marte it looks definitelly better than Echenique. Problem is that these players like Marte, Yonkaira, Fersola, Arias still don't have too much game on highest level on the court. If they will get experience... Just will be great to show real power of DR NT.

Quote from José

hahaha Marte.

Hahaha... I guess everyone today played shit... it wasn't setters fault.

Setters can do nothing if the spikers play shit and can't finish the ball with single block... especially Marte, which played more combinated and faster than Echenique, which was definitelly more horrible. And you can't say anything wrong about some players, which you saw just one match...

I think that Marte and Peńa should get more chances to play from coach, because Echenique and De La Cruz/Rivera have worse form than them. This same I think with Vargas, which plays and her form is bad and Fersola is better and she should play.

Quote from serdar

I just noticed that Milagros Cabral is team manager of Dominic Repucblic It is nice to see such experienced players are still helping the team after retirement.

Yes she is and she is Deputy Minister of sport in Dominican Republic also

Castillo already renewed with Rabita

and Rivera haven't signed with Telekom.

Quote from Bartek

If They were killed by professionalists, Noone never will find Their bodies.

Better to think the worst option and to have nice suprise than to think best and to have bad suprise.

You didn't think that maybe something was gonna happen and for example now they are somewhere in Africa escape from something/somebody? It's just example, but we have a lot of things that could happen and isn't a death. Even they could disappear somewhere and maybe someone took them and will want a money for give them freedom...

Just start to logic and don't write this bullshit... because it's annoying of everybody and for example if you have disappeared somewhere and you live in this world and everyone are looking for you, but some stupid people write and say that you died... you would feel good? I don't think so...

Quote from kondzio

Bielsko and Police seem to be places, where can Lenka play. Other teams have libero, now Aluprof has only Mariola Wojtowicz. She's experienced but I tihnk it's not enough for Aluprof. They will transfer few players, now in club except Wojtowicz valid contracts have : S: Szymańska, MB: Pelc, OH: Łyszkiewicz (she signed new contract), OP: Horka. Club left Wołosz, Wojtowicz, Bergrova, Cella and Sawicka. About Frąckowiak, Sieczka and Czypiruk there is no info.
Rest teams have:
Atom - Zenik, Muszyna - Maj, Tauron - Strasz, Chemik - Krzos/I. Śliwa (I suppose that they can transfer someone), Impel - Medyńska, Budowlani - Durajczyk, Legionovia - Saad, Pałac - Kuehn-Jarek, PTPS - Wysocka/Borek

BKS I think won't take her, because they will have lower budget. They will have similar money like Legionovia or even Pałac Bydgoszcz, so don't bind the hope with Bielsko in this season They won't transfer anything spectacular I guess...

Chemik will take Sawicka, per 95%. And i think in our league we have good liberos and we don't need Durr, which is nothing special for our league (with 3 foreigners system on the court).

Quote from terry

No, coach Jenny Lang decided to send a junior team in Montreux, The junior team will also participant in FIVB U20 wch, so Montreux will be a warm-up for the matches in Czech, in fact, the chinese team even want to withdraw the tournament but the schedule are already confirmed, so 。。。。 the new coach Jenny Lang has some different views about the matches in Montreux and Russia compare to the former coach, the Chinese volleyball association accept her view and refuse russia's invitation(Yesin cup )

Thanks for info

So... it seems Dominican Republic or Brazil if is true that may Fe and Dani Lins are comming. But of course I hope DOM

Quote from Matthias

Brazil, China, Italy, Russia, Japan all are building new teams, so this year in Montreux we won't see many stars (if any at all), DOM will be the only team with several experienced players.

So... you don't think that Chinese NT will take this part, which play now in chinese friendly tournament? If they will.. they are dangerous too, because without setter everything look similar like in the past years...

Quote from Matthias

German roster was announced already some weeks ago, it's on page 1 or 2 of this topic. The team will train only 3 days before Montreux, so no info yet if the roster will be as announced (only 12 players were announced plus some reserves for injury or other emergencies).

Yes... German I saw it... but the others? I'm just curious.. but I guess other teams will go with B NT. So I hope DR NT will crush all of teams but... I don't know... I think Chinese NT can fight for win too.

Quote from Matthias

DOM is probably the only team bringing their A roster, so I wouldn't be surprised if they win the tournament...

I think this same Any other rosters for this tournament?

Dominican Republic NT for Montreux:

S: Niverka Marte, Karla Echenique
OH: Bethania de la Cruz, Priscilla Rivera, Ana Binet, Yonkaira Pena
MB: Annerys Vargas, Candida Arias, Marianne Fersola
OPP: Altagracia Gina Mambru, Jeoselyna Rodriguez
L: Brenda Castillo

My 6:

Marte - Mambru
De la Cruz - Rivera
Vargas - Arias
Castillo

The problem is that in Lo Bianco's age, she didn't want to play in NT, because she didn't want to be second.

Quote from Lenna

she is in the polish x factor - Klaudia Gawor --> Tijana Malesevic!

No , but lol... Piszczek and Czarnowski are really similar :O
