The Japanese Volleyball Federation has released its Women’s Roster for 2011. Coach Manabe has pretty much kept the same roster from last year with the addition of a few young players seeking to experience world class volleyball.
Japan won the BRONZE at the 2010 World Championship after beating the USA and their solid performance throughout the tournament delivered a strong signal to the rest of the world their determination to resurrect its glorious days.
With Saori Kimura and the amazing Yoshi Takeshita to lead the squad, Japan is the Team To Watch this year! No doubt.
This is going to be a very exciting year for women’s volleyball! Teams are getting stronger and stronger.
We Like!
