Women’s Volleyroos take off for Development Tour

The Australian Women’s Volleyroos are in Japan this week for a development tour, taking on a number of Japanese University teams in and around Tokyo over the next week.

The squad was selected following a camp at the Australian Institute of Sport in late June which featured athletes from most states and territories.

The team features eight players who represented Australia at the recent Asian Challenge Cup for Women in Manila, Philippines.

We look forward to seeing the following athletes and team staff in action!
