As of today (February 4), all volleyball clubs participating in the 2025 national championship have returned to the team after the Tet holiday, ready for the new season that is about to start.
The defending champion VTV Binh Dien Long An has gathered since February 3. According to the previous sharing of head coach Thai Quang Lai, as soon as they return, the whole team will continue to practice professionally to prepare their forces, ready to participate in important tournaments such as Hoa Lu - Binh Dien Cup 2025 and phase 1 of the 2025 National Volleyball Championship.
Up to now, VTV Binh Dien Long An's squad has maintained a stable force, unchanged from the list that won the national championship in 2024.
Although main striker Tran Thi Thanh Thuy has returned, her next professional plan has not been specifically revealed.
After research, the Western team will practice for a short time in Long An, then soon move to the North to get used to the climate and prepare more thoroughly before participating in tournaments.
Meanwhile, opposite Nguyen Thi Bich Tuyen of LPB Ninh Binh team shared: "We gathered on February 2 and started practicing from February 3. During the Tet holiday, the players still maintained their physical strength through individual exercises, so getting back into the rhythm was not difficult."
At the training ground of the Information Corps Club, the atmosphere of the first days of spring was more bustling than ever. The leaders and the team management board were present to celebrate the new year, give advice and encouragement when coach Pham Van Long and his team opened the field on February 3.
Right from the first day back, the coaching staff has practiced according to the professional curriculum and not let the holiday atmosphere affect them. With changes from the end of 2024 on the coaching bench, the Signal Corps is expected to compete well and regain its position in 2025.
With the new recruits from Ho Chi Minh City, this team has made careful preparations before, during and after the 2025 Lunar New Year holiday. According to the club's coaching staff, after the holiday, the whole team will calculate a suitable time to move to the North to get used to the climate because the first phase of the 2025 national championship will be held in Dong Anh (Hanoi).
As for the men's volleyball teams, Tan Cang The Cong Club was the earliest team to return to practice at the beginning of the new year when coach Thai Anh Van and his team gathered on January 31 (the third day of Tet).
"We have implemented a short Tet holiday but still ensure that the players can have a warm Tet holiday with their families. During the time back to training, the professional program will be carried out normally and the players will focus on the upcoming important tournaments," said head coach Thai Anh Van.
In general, coaches and athletes of volleyball clubs have been on the training field, ensuring that they meet professional requirements. All teams have started training with a new spirit and new momentum, aiming for high results in the 2025 season.
