Ban Thaen Wittaya School's three-year-old volleyball program is sending boys' and girls' U15 teams to the Prime Minister's Youth Cup, aiming to advance past the provincial round despite fierce Chaiyaphum competition.
Ban Thaen Wittaya School in Chaiyaphum is a newcomer to volleyball, with its team formed just three years ago, yet the athletes harbor dreams of advancing far in the sport. The school will send both boys' and girls' teams to the Prime Minister's Youth Cup Volleyball U15 tournament, targeting strong performances. The girls' team is coached by Thanayuth Kruthameechai, a Thai language teacher and former Khon Kaen provincial volleyball player who is deeply passionate about the sport. Coach Thanayuth said the Prime Minister's Youth Cup is an excellent opportunity for athletes to showcase their potential, and the team's initial goal is to advance past the provincial round, acknowledging that Chaiyaphum province has many strong competitors. He urged all team members to motivate themselves and demonstrate their abilities, proving that Ban Thaen Wittaya is a capable team ready to compete against any opponent. He emphasized that success comes from determination, dedication, and effort. The newcomer team from Ban Thaen Wittaya is one to watch. Registration for the Prime Minister's Youth Cup Volleyball U15 for both boys and girls closes on 12 September 2025, with online sign-ups at pmyouthcupvolleyball.in.th and further details available at volleyball.or.th and the Thailand Volleyball Association Facebook page.
