New volleyball chief Joey Romasanta was so impressed with the UAAP championship run of the Ateneo women’s volleyball team under head coach Anusorn “Tai” Bundit that he feels there’s a need to enhance the tactical knowledge of local coaches.

Romasanta said they will start the process as soon as the Larong Volleyball sa Pilipinas (LVP) sets up a coaches’ pool for the national team.

“They should be able to go through an upgrading seminar to qualify them as national coaches,” said Romasanta, president of the LVP. “We have to prioritize coaching if we want to have a strong national team.”
