On the first day the surprise result was Henan 3 - 0 Tianjin (Pool A) but it wasn't totally unexpected, having Zhu in the Henan team made a huge difference.
Yesterday the big surprise was Shandong 3 - 0 Shanghai (Pool B). Shanghai was supposed to be the strongest team in this pool.
It seems that Pool A has three quite strong teams, Henan, Tianjin and Jiangsu, and Pool B, none

USA won the U17 NORCECA championship.
Maya Ogbogu (yes she's related to Chi) was top scorer in the final with 21 points (in the sweep of Mexico)
USA will debut at next year's fivb u17 wch... I know it's early days but do you see anyone from this team joining ?
Did you hear, AVC will be sending 6 teams !

Yes, I think she'll be a great addition to the NT

But I think Korea has always had a great grassroots program for volleyball. The problem is the transition to the Senior level, due to the limited playing time in the league and the pro league clubs to participate in. I hope Korean players also explore playing outside Korea, so that they can grow more as players and experience the competitiveness of being an "import".
yes... I think this was what happened to Choi Ho-sun

I would love to see her playing

Korea, Champions

2025 Asian Women’s u16 Volleyball Championship.
The future is looking bright for the NT when this group of juniors transition to the senior side, especially when you have a player like Son Seoyeon, team captain and tournament MVP:

she spiked at the net (not near it), but landed on her left foot first. Barely had the right foot to the ground.
Grabbed below her left immediately after falling to the ground. Was taken off the court on a stretcher.
I would just say from the brief look of her rotating swing, she never seemed to land on both feet at the same time.
Biomechanics there would probably cause the knee to buckle at some point.
She injured her right knee before, but not as serious as this injury on the left side. It's quite sad that this happened so early in her career, she's only 21

Moma was unstoppable today, scoring 20 points, as Hi-Pass continue their winning streak. And there's more good news. Thanacha won't be required to join the NT for the SEA games. The Thai V Association said they will select a 'younger' team. It's a break from tradition, the Thais are known to field their top players for almost every tournament
