Volleyball latest: Russia is scheduled to host an exciting volleyball tournament at the weekend
The Russian Volleyball Federation plans to host the thrilling competition of the All Stars Game at the weekend. The city of Kemerovo will host the event from January 21-22. Last year, the All Stars Game was held in Ekterinburg but this time around, the Russian
Volleyball Federation has decided to bring the exciting feat to Kemerovo. The arrangements have already been completed to host the moving competition.
In the last season, the team of World Stars held off Russian nationals for a wonderful victory in the final encounter. However, the home players have spent enough time in training and preparation for this event. They are likely to exhibit better performance
this time and pave their way to final victory. New format of the game will also help them to work out better performance.
The All Stars Game will feature a host of other activities in this campaign. The fans will get a chance to say hello to their favourite players and get their autographs. Likewise, the young aspiring players will get master classes, in order to enhance their
game skills. Different kinds of exhibition trials and contests will also be an essential part of this activity. The real competition of national and world stars will be kicked off on Friday.
Last year, the All Stars Game followed a different formula. In the previous edition, the teams were categorised as ‘absolute Russian stars’ and ‘international stars’. Nevertheless, there is bit of change in format this year. The Russian Volleyball Federation
has decided to allow players to form teams on geographical basis. The tournament will feature two main teams:
Team East Team West
The best players of Eastern Russian Clubs will be grouped as Team East, while Team West will be formed by the players of Western Russian Clubs. The new formula of the game will definitely bring more spice in the game as both sides will have a balanced proportion
of power. The Team East will be supervised by Andrey Voronkov, who is officially attached with Russian club Lokomotiv Novosibirsk. On the other hand, Vladimir Alekno of Zenit Kazan will perform his duties as the head coach of Team West. Lokomotiv Novosibirsk
and Zenit Kazan are top volleyball clubs in Russia. They have made tremendous progress under the command of these two coaches. It is expected that the All Stars Game competition will also be a tournament to watch.
