The Zhejiang team is a top club team, the highest level below the Chinese National Team. Featuring a number of athletes who have either played for or are training for a spot on the Chinese National Team, the team is also referred to as a “provisional team.” They are from the Zhejiang Province, south of Shanghai and have a full-time training centre in the city of Hangzhou. Earlier in the season, the Zhejiang team took Team USA to four and five sets in its two matches while the US national team was on its pre-Olympic exhibition tour.# g- t- V1 e0 I' ~% Q& q$ q

Doug Reimer, 12-year head coach of the UBC Thunderbirds and former head coach of the Canadian National Team anticipates a fast-paced, hard-hitting match. “The Chinese are known for their speed and we will need to adapt to a fast offence which is a challenge for our blocking. We are a bigger strong blocking team and will rely on that to put pressure on them as well. We need to serve tough to put them off balance. They are well skilled with lots of hours of training so we can’t afford to make many unforced errors,” commented Coach Reimer.
