The beach volleyball teams, for their part, will head to Brazil for their training camp starting April 13 to 28.

The SEAG indoor volleyball competitions will be on May 3 at the Indoor Main Hall, Olympic Complex while beach volleyball will be held on May 11 at the Sihanoukville, Otres Beach.

The men’s and women’s indoor volleyball teams hope to make it to the podium this time after finishing  fifth and fourth, respectively, in the previous edition held in Vietnam last year.

The men’s and women’s beach volleyball squads, meanwhile, seek to sustain or surpass their respective bronze medal finishes the last time.

The women’s indoor team is drawn to Pool B, along with host Cambodia, Singapore and 2021 Games silver medalist Vietnam, while organizers are expected to repeat the draw in the men’s side after the country was inadvertently overlooked during the submission deadline in February that excluded the team in the initial draw last week.

Alyssa Valdez and Vince Mangulabnan are named as team captains of the women’s and men’s indoor squad.
