Definitely promising, but I feel like this quad has a lot to prove considering their last medal in a major competition was in the Olympics 3 years ago. It's crazy how they are literally on the brink of qualifying for the VNL quarterfinals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiidish Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 I'm curious but don't really know where to start with getting into volleyball. Been trying to get back into play pick up beach games. I just know a few pros or athletes who play volleyball and react to videos as a hobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That match between Japan and Canada looked like it was absolutely crazy. it has setup the perfect meetup between Canada and the Netherlands since the winner will most likely clinch the last Olympic spot. Here's to hoping Maglio and the other Canadian queens take it! Edited June 14 by Cannon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BNF91 Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 Heartbroken for Canada. They must have been wiped from that epic match against Japan just 15 hours before. I grew up playing with some of those girls, it's so crazy seeing them reach this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannon Posted June 15 Author Share Posted June 15 I feel bad especially for Alexa Gray. But she was right about how much they've improved since the 2021 VNL. Hopefully Canada will keep getting stronger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannon Posted June 16 Author Share Posted June 16 So satisfying to see Karakurt and co get dismantled by Brazil. It's kind of scary to see how good they are playing right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kind of scary to see how good they are playing right now. Lowkey feel like Vargas peaked last year. Turkey needs a more reliable OH because Karakurt is not giving on that position. Just give Brazil the Olympic gold medal already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like you play? I do play as much as I can still. But growing up I was on team Ontario and in the junior national development program with a lot of the current team Canada players, both indoor and beach (Melissa Humana, TJ Sanders, Arthur Szwarc, Sam schachter, Alexa Gray, Jazmine White, etc). But stopped playing and got distracted with life. It's not a huge community so lots of people in Canadian volleyball are interconnected. Everyone grew up training and playing together. It's been incredible watching my friends reach the pinnacle of their athletic journeys. I regret not seeing things through for myself everyday of my life. Will probably remain my biggest regret until I die lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
