PBVSI calls up players for tour

JAKARTA (JP): The Indonesian Volleyball Association (PBVSI)
has summoned eight national beach volleyballers to attend an
extended training program starting on Tuesday.

The players will focus on competing in the Southeast Asian
beach volley and indoor volley tournament, scheduled from July 19
to July 25 in Bangkok.

PBVSI official Ahmed Solihin said on Monday the eight athletes
were Sumoyo, Agus Salim, Anjas Asmara and Irilkhun Shofanna from
the men's side and Yuli, Risma, Nini and Henny from the women's
side.

Ahmed said the tournament would serve as a alternative event
because beach volleyball would not be featured in the 20th
Southeast Asian (SEA) Games in Brunei Darussalam in August.

The two male pairs arrived in Jakarta on Monday evening after
competing in a three-day tournament in Thrang and Pattaya in
Thailand. Iwan and Anjas finished in third position while Agus
and Irilkhun finished fifth overall. (ivy)
