Amid the progress of caster Lee Ji-won, who has experience in volleyball broadcasting, Kim Si-hoon, CEO of Sports Plus, who hosts Woori Card's youth camp, and instructors (Nam Bin, Jung Woo-sung, Park Ki-heon, Lee Joon-young) led each program.

After the program was over, it was organized into 13 groups and had a 'meal mentoring'. In various prepared foods such as hamburgers, pizza, and chicken, children were able to ask the player what they had been curious about up close.

At the end of the event, photoshoots and signing events were held, and gifts such as Woori Card T-shirts were also prepared for everyone who attended the event.

Kim Kwang-il, who watched Paes' toss from the side, said "Breathing is a little disappointing, but..."Laughing, "Your movements are really light compared to your age. I think he had a really good sense of (toss) when he was active. I'm learning a lot while training."

Elite and youth club players who participated in the day expressed their satisfaction with one voice. Elite players have drawn their dreams of becoming professionals more firmly.

In Chang-joong captain Lee Kang-yeon "I usually tried to play fun volleyball. During today's program, I felt like I was playing interesting volleyball. We would like to express our gratitude to the Woori Card team officials for this rare opportunity. Lim Jong-baek, captain of In Warehouse, also "It was a good opportunity to run with the players on the court as a mini-game, and to experience the hard training of professional players directly through physical training. Taking this opportunity, I want to prepare harder for the rest of the year and say hello to the players in the professional league."

It was a time when the youth club players really enjoyed volleyball. Jang Min-kyung of the women's youth club said "There was a practice of receiving a strong ball from the machine. I think it will be memorable because I can digest training programs that are difficult to encounter. I want to thank the coach and the players for teaching me the best they can," he said in greeting.

Seon Ho-joon of the men's youth club also said, `I was a player, but I gave up my dream and continued as a hobby. I also recalled the old days while sweating on the court with the players. I had a dream of becoming a leader, and I will prepare diligently today" smiled.
