Curious who will play for Switzerland in the 2nd match. Was interesting to watch yesterday with a somewhat surprising (at least to me) starting line-up.

And eventually... also Qualification pool F postponed to January according to Czech Federation site:

Everything to be played out in January... hopefully.

Qualification Pools A (with BLR, EST, SUI) and F (with SLO, CZE, BIH, LAT) supposed to be played in August/early September for now. The other 4 pools postponed to January according to CEV.
UPDATE: Qualification Pool A apparently is now postponed to January as well according to Swiss Federation site:

Georgia Tech at least won the NIVC Championship which is kind of a "best of the rest" tournament for 32 of the best teams that didn't make the cut into the official NCAA Tournament field.
Usually not all teams who are invited, choose to participate in this however. But winning it might have provided some good vibes for them heading into the upcoming season, who knows.

German OH Sina Fuchs to Fatum Nyíregyháza (HUN). Hungarian League seems to become a bit more international with every season. Only eight clubs in this league, but at least the top four clubs seem to build really decent teams again.
-
Maybe if all (3 or) 4 countries in one pool agree that their respective conditions allow a somewhat adequate preparation, then they can go for the early date (and if not, then for the later date)? Anyway, if true, might still be a bit better for Switzerland to play all the matches in Belarus than in Estonia (assuming Belarus is the favorite to win anyway).

As far as I understand it, CEV intends to do qualifiers in late summer, but for the case that it's not possible there yet, they have already fixed dates for January as alternative. They'll take a final decision soon: https://www.cev.eu/News.aspx?NewsID=30733&ID=5
OK. I just assumed it would be the same period for all (either August for all pools or January for all pools).

Strange. The quali pool with Finland will play in next January according to them:

Sara Klisura one more season with 1. MCM-Diamant Kaposvár (HUN).
-
American MB Karis Watson (VfB Suhl Lotto Thüringen (GER)) signed with VC Kanti Schaffhausen (SUI).
-
Russian OH Olga Bogdanova (Minchanka Minsk) apparently signed with Sm'Aesch Pfeffingen (SUI).

Just to share. For those who also like to listen to talks with coaches to fill the time without on-court action.

Latest two episodes were with Antiga and Guidetti, scheduled are Athanasopoulos, Bernardinho, Barbolini among others.

Nice to see her get a chance in Bundesliga. Curious how she will do there.

TS Volley Düdingen signed Danish OPP Trine Noer Kjelstrup (Vasas Budapest) and American OH Rachel Giustino (Murray State (NCAA)).
From the one Champions League match i remember her, i think Kjelstrup might be a very effective attacker (and server) in the Swiss League. Looks like Giustino has been a tireless scorer in one of the weaker conferences (she ranks 3rd in total number of kills and kills/set in whole NCAA Div.I for last season).

I can see them challenge Sm'Aesch, Kanti, and NUC if all works out well.

Pity. Saw her play with Maribor in a european cup match some years ago. All the best!

Jenna Gray follows Dresden and many Players like Cyris, Dürr etc .on Insta😎
And here's the podcast interview from youtube (listen from 10:30 to 11:30) where she said that she's going overseas to play volleyball in the fall and wonders if she could practice at least a little bit javelin throw while being there ("they're really good at javelin in Germany" if i understood it correctly).
-
IF they really signed Hentz, then i think the setter might be Jenna Gray. I think she will play in Germany next season. So why not together with her friend?
