Coaches agree on the importance of the U23 World Championship 

 TIJUANA & MEXICALI, México, October 4, 2013 – All the coaches of the teams taking part  in the inaugural FIVB Women’s U23 World Championship agree on the importance and necessity of this new age‐group in the development process of the players.  They expressed their feelings and goals in the championship while participating in the preliminary inquiries performed by the FIVB Control Committee on Thursday.  The twelve teams have been divided into two pools of six sides with the top two teams from each pool  advancing  to  the  medal  round.  Teams  placed  in  third  and  fourth  will  play  for  the  5‐8 positions.  The teams competing in Pool A in Tijuana are Italy, Turkey, Dominican Republic, Argentina, Japan and hosts Mexico. The Pool A in Mexicali consists of United States, Kenya, China, Germany, Brazil and Cuba.  Here the excerpts of the Coaches statements:  Guillermo Caceres, Coach of Argentina: “We want to thank the organizers for a great hospitality. Our expectations are  to continue getting experience and  to  learn  from  the powerhouses  taking part in the competition. We hope to learn and to give a good battle to every team.”  Claudio Lopes, Coach of Brazil: “The first U23 World Championship will have a very, very high level and we are prepared to  face some very good teams. We are very happy with  this new category which is a step between the junior ranks and the senior level. It is very tough to adjust going from the juniors to play with accomplished players.”  Xu Jiande, Coach of China: “We will try our best to learn from each other and also to try to get the best result possible. It is a new tournament and the organization is very good.”  Juan Carlos Gala, Coach of Cuba: “We have a very young  team with  the oldest player being 21. Our pool is very tough but our goal is to be among the top eight. The U23 championship is a great idea  and we  fully  support  it, because  it  is  the  intermediate phase between  the  junior  and  the senior level. There will be a mix of established athletes with promising ones.”  Marcos Kwiek, Coach of Dominican Republic: “We have had so many good memories  from our past tournaments here. This is like our second home because it has been part of our history. I hope our players enjoy the tournament and can play at a good level.”  Jens Thietbol, Coach of Germany:  “We are going  to play  in Mexicali  in a  very  tough pool with teams like Brazil, USA, China and Cuba, traditional very good teams. I hope we can advance to the

  final round  in Tijuana. The U23  is a new championship and  I think  it  is very good chance  for the players to prepare to move to the women’s national team.  Luca Cristofani, Coach of Italy: “Our goal is to be in the final‐four and I wish the best of luck to all the participants. The U23 Championship  is  like  the missing piece  in the structure to develop the players. With this new age‐group competition you don’t have to rush the players  into the senior teams.”  Shigekazu Okubo, Coach of  Japan:  “Our players  are  very  short  so we have  to  rely on defense, reception and digs to go with a fast offense. The competition  is a good one because  it helps the development of  athletes  going  from  the  junior  to  the  senior  level.  It  also helps  the process  to replace the players that are getting old.”  Sammy Mulinge, Coach of Kenya: “We have a good team but we lack the experience. Most of our players only have competed at a continental  level  in Africa. Very  few players have played at an intercontinental  level. We have only  two players who have been  in  the national  team. This new U23 championship is good for them to gain experience and prepare for the senior team.”  Francisco Pineda, Coach of Mexico: “Our  team comes with a positive mentality  to have a good event. From the team that played at the NORCECA championship we have eight players here.  In our roster we have several players who took part  in the U18 and U20 world championships and also new players, including Karina Flores, a 15‐years old player of 1.94 meters.”  Mehmet Bedestenlioglu, Coach of Turkey: “We are a good team and hope to be successful in this tournament. Our  junior and youth  teams have had success  in Europe so we have a big group of good players to select from. Regarding this new age‐group  I think  it  is good for the top teams  in the world that have many players of advanced age still active and need that the young players can compete.”  Karch Kiraly, Coach of United States: “We are excited. We have a very young team, and we are excited and it’s special to be part of the first ever World Championship for U23. We have a number of players who have finished with their college eligibility here on the team and also some players who are younger than college and have never played yet. So we’ve got a good mix, a good blend of more experienced and some youth.”
