Emergency Declaration Volleyball Men Japan National Training Camp Canceled on April 7 at 19:05

Due to the emergence of an emergency declaration in Tokyo and other places due to the spread of the new coronavirus, the Japan Volleyball Association has been busy with measures such as discontinuing the male training camp at the National Training Center.

The Japan Volleyball Association has issued a Declaration of Emergency under the Special Measures Law to Tokyo and other countries in response to the rapid spread of the new coronavirus, mainly in urban areas, until the 6th. We considered the future activities of the Japanese national team.

As a result, the decision was made to cancel the men's representative training camp that had been held since September 9 at the National Training Center in Kita-ku, Tokyo.

As of the 6th, 19 athletes had participated in the training camp while staying at the facilities of the National Training Center, but all of them had already left the facilities.

For the Japan Women's National Team, a training camp was scheduled to be held using the same facilities as boys from this month, but this will be postponed.

According to the Japan Volleyball Association, "I made the decision with the safety and security of the players first. I would like to watch the situation of the national policy in the future."

This month, at the National Training Center, some sports organizations have restricted the use of athletes in order to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus, and depending on the future situation, it may have a further effect on athlete enhancement. There is concern.
