Beijing, China, January 14, 2016 - China Volleyball Association held a signing ceremony on Tuesday at Beijing Diaoyutai State Guesthouse concerning the official strategic partnership between China women's volleyball team and Bright Dairy, a leading dairy company in China.
Head coach Lang Ping led four players - Zeng Chunlei, Liu Xiaotong, Ding Xia and Yan Ni - in attending the ceremony and revealed the new national squad's preparation and training plan before the Rio Olympic Games.
According to Lang, the team's preparation will be divided in three phases.
In the first session, the team will be assembled in late January with 12- 15 players checked in for a physical training of strength and conditions. Players from Jiangsu, Tianjin, Shenzhen Army and Shanghai Clubs will join the training later as they are still contending in the Finals of China Volleyball League.
The second training session will feature high intensity starting from March to April, followed by some warm-up and friendly matches in May. The third session will concentrate for the FIVB World Grand Prix in June and July right before the journey to Rio.
"It is quite a tough schedule for the young team. though we made it in World Cup last year, it doesn't mean we are the top team of the world. Every team in Rio Olympics will play their trump cards posing an extreme challenge to China. We still have plenty of potentials to be exploited and shortcomings to be improved. I hope veterans as well as rookies are able to make breakthroughs and find their own groove physically, mentally and technically in the New Year," concluded Lang Ping.
