The official mini-volleyball season kicked off with the first tournament of the championship – a marathon of volleyball, intense emotions and a show put on by Volleyball Forever’s youngest players! With an excellent record of two clear wins out of three matches, our girls showed that the work put in during long hours of practice is paying off and that our team has huge potential this season.
A strong start, but a useful lesson against LPS (1-3) 🏐
The first match of the tournament put us up against LPS. Our girls took the court highly motivated, full of contagious energy. With an aggressive serve and connected play, we started the duel strongly, winning the first set to go 1-0 up.
However, as the match went on, our opponents took the initiative amid small hesitations from our girls and a drop in focus after the enthusiastic first set. The match ended 1-3, but this defeat doesn’t discourage us – quite the opposite! It was a very useful first test that showed the girls what official competitive rhythm means and how important it is to keep up the pressure throughout the game.
The standout match: a mature, spectacular win against the Marius Ciortea Academy (3-0) 🏐⚡⭐
The match against Academia Ciortea looked from the start like a harder, more demanding game – the real test of the tournament. We were facing a quality opponent, a team visibly improving from one tournament to the next, well organised on court and capable of very connected play.
Aware of their opponent’s strength, our girls took the court well focused. It was a high-intensity match, with long, spectacular rallies, in which the Volleyball Forever girls showed remarkable tactical maturity for their age. We served well, responded quickly to their attacks, and our defence dug out seemingly impossible balls. Every set was a tight battle of attrition, but our girls’ discipline and clear heads in the decisive moments at the end of the sets made the difference. A 3-0 against a team growing stronger, like Academia Ciortea, shows not only the quality of the squad but also the ability to stay focused in matches that matter!
A hard-earned 3-0 against ACS Pârv 11: a generational change and a warning for future matches 🏐
In the third match of the tournament, our girls won 3-0 against ACS Pârv 11. Although the scoreboard shows a clear win on paper, the game revealed an opponent visibly rebuilding. At Pârv you can clearly feel the generational change in mini-volleyball – a handover that always brings new ambitions and the potential for rapid growth from one round to the next. Although we controlled the pace and took the three points, we are fully aware that the next matches against them will get harder and harder. As their new line-up gains cohesion and experience, the head-to-head games will become real battles at the net, which is why we can’t afford to relax for a moment.
Looking ahead with confidence
A record of two wins from three matches, dropping sets in only one game, is an excellent foundation for the first rounds of the National Championship. Our youngest players showed attitude, team cohesion and, above all, huge joy in playing volleyball.
Congratulations to all the girls for their commitment, and to the coaches for their preparation and guidance! Thank you to the parents who once again filled the hall and created an amazing atmosphere in the stands!
We keep working, we learn from every match and we move forward!
Come on, Volleyball Forever! 💜💜💜✨
