"Many of the players were tall and cheerful, and they were very positive and were able to devote themselves seriously to training and practice games," the club wrote.
The Japanese champion club gave further insight on how the Tigresses' camp went down, describing it as an 'informative' period for the young España side.
"After physical training from 7:30 a.m., we practiced with a ball in the morning, and from 4 p.m. we had a practice match with high school students, college students, and Ablaze, and I think we had a very informative camp."
Ablaze added: "We also went sightseeing to Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter and Aeon Mall Kurashiki, and it was a great camping experience!"
The 2024 volleyball season will be a busy one for both teams as Kurashiki head coach Hideo Suzuki joins PVL club Farm Fresh as team consultant while UST shoots for redemption from its Season 85 Final Four heartbreak in what will be its first campaign without ace spiker and ex-captain Eya Laure.
