Antalya, Turkey, May 8, 2014.  The Turkish pairs who will take part in the 2014 CEV Youth Beach Volleyball Continental Cup Final from May 15 through 17 in Antalya are taking the opportunity to watch the matches of the 2014 CEV Beach Volleyball Satellite Antalya taking place at the WOW Kremlin Hotel’s beach volleyball courts in the Turkish Mediterranean resort.

The young Turkish players are trying to absorb as much as possible from the experienced men and women participating in the Satellite tournament.  The assistant coach of the Turkish duos Adem Mert comments that it is good for the youngsters to watch and learn from what they see on the sand court.

“We started working with 8 women’s and 8 men’s U19 teams,” Mert says.  “We made three preparation camps so far.  One was in Ankara, one - in Istanbul, and the third one took place in Alanya.  Now we continue in Antalya.  We observed many players during the preparation and chose our pairs.  Our preparation started about one and a half month ago.  Two women’s and two men’s duos will join the Youth Continental Cup Final.”

“The reason we are here, at this Satellite tournament, is to make our young players gain more experience by watching,” Mert explains.  “We made our preparation in closed beach volleyball halls and now we have the chance to make it on open courts in Antalya.  I think they prepared well and I hope they will get good results.”

The young players of Turkey stated that they are very happy to be in Antalya at the CEV Satellite and it is very helpful for them to watch some of the international matches there.
