THE national men’s team of the Philippine National Volleyball Federation (PNVF) arrived in Chinese Taipei on Wednesday (February 15) for a 10-day training camp staged in partnership with the Chinese Taipei Volleyball Association.
Head coach Odjie Mamon heads the team’s training camp that includes tune-up matches with top Taiwanese pro clubs Taipower, Win+Streak, Taichung Apollo and TFMI Falcon in the cities of Kaohsiung, Taichung and Tauyuan.
The PNVF will determine from the pool the composition of the national team that will compete in the Cambodia 32nd Southeast Asian Games from May 5 to 17.
“It will be a comprehensive and active training camp for our men’s pool from where we will pick our national team for Cambodia,” PNVF president Ramon “Tats” Suzara said.
Suzara arranged the training camp through Chinese Taipei Volleyball Association secretary-general Chan Jing-Jong.
The members of the pool are Jade Disquitado, Lloyd Josafat, Rex Intal, Rwenzmel Taguibolos, Leo Ordiales, Joshua Umandal, Vince Lorenzo, Jay Rack de la Noche, Madzlan Gampong, Kim Dayandante, Jelex Mendiola, Vince Mangulabnan, Edward Camposano, Jayvee Sumagaysay and Noel Kampton.
Joining Mamon are assistant coach Rommel John Abella, strength and conditioning coach Miggy Samonte, trainer Mark Alfafara and team manager Jerome Guhit. The pool, Suzara said, will have another training camp with V.League Division I team Panasonic Panthers in April in Osaka, Japan
