After finishing with two silver medals in men's and women's volleyball at the 2017 Malaysian SEA Games, Indonesia is targeting a higher podium for men and to maintain the women's second place finish in volleyball in the upcoming SEA Games 2019.
Indonesia is in good tune of music in terms of preparation of their volleyball athletes for the 30th SEA Games in the Philippines.
Weeks after the grand finale of Proliga (the Indonesian top level competition for volleyball clubs), its national teams (men and women) are gearing up for Asian level competitions.
The women's side will compete in the Asian Senior Women's Volleyball Championship in Seoul, Korea on August and will collide against rival Vietnam in the early stage of the competition.
Both Indonesia and Vietnam teams are grouped in Pool D along with powerhouse China and Sri Lanka. This will be a test and estimation of team strengths for both Indonesia and Vietnam teams prior to SEA Games on November.
While its men's team will compete in the Asian Senior Men's Championship to be held in Iran on September.
But selection of prospective players are still running and monitored from Livoli to Proliga tournaments. And number of trial agendas have been prepared, including gathering of players in May to the next six months.
Aside from the two mentioned tournaments, there are also two events in Indonesia that can be used as preparations ahead of the 2019 SEA Games.
Meanwhile, Indonesia is very optimistic of getting the gold medals in beach volleyball events because of their achievements at the 2018 Asian Games - one silver and two bronze medals.
