ANAHEIM, Calif. (Jan. 3, 2008) – The U.S. Men’s National Volleyball Team departed on Wednesday night for Caguas, Puerto Rico, where it will compete at the 2008 NORCECA Men’s Continental Olympic Qualification Championship on Jan. 6-11.
The tournament is the second chance for the U.S. Men to qualify for the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China. The first chance was at the 2007 FIVB World Cup, where the U.S. Men finished fourth.
Only the winner of the NORCECA qualifier will go to Beijing.
Members of the U.S. Men’s Team returned from their international club teams to the American Sports Center in Anaheim on Dec. 26 to begin training for the NORCECA tournament.
“We’ve identified a few key areas from World Cup that we needed to work on,” U.S. Head Coach Hugh McCutcheon said. “But mostly the practices have been about getting reconnected and getting hitters on the same page.”
