MANILA, Philippines—Expectations are high for the Philippine women's national volleyball team when they compete in the Southeast Asian Games later this year.

With the country hosting the SEA Games, the women's team is expected to have a solid performance, perhaps even to reach the volleyball podium for the first time since 2005.

With this in mind, the Larong Volleyball sa Pilipinas Inc. (LVPI) has lined up training camps and international tournaments all throughout the year for the women's team.

"We have a scheduled training camp, the one in Japan, around August. We're looking for one more, siguro around June," said Peter Cayco, president of the sport's national governing body.

The team also hopes to compete in a tournament in China, but officials still have to work the schedule out as it may coincide with the upcoming season of the Philippine Superliga.

"The schedules, it will clash with five days of the PSL. We're working it out with PSL, kung they can accommodate the five days, (or) maybe we'll look for another tournament," he said.

It will be a very busy year for the women's volleyball team.

Before the players compete in the SEA Games in November, they will also see action in the AVC Asian Women’s Club Volleyball Championship in China from April 20 to 28.

The under-23 team, meanwhile, takes part in the 3rd Asian Women's U-23 Volleyball Championship in Vietnam on July 13-21.

In August, the squad will participate in the 20th Asian Senior Women's Championship in South Korea.

The SEA Games will run from November 30 to December 10.
