The Korean Volleyball Federation held an orientation for KOVO rookie players from 2025 to 2026 at Nuri Dream Square located in Mapo-gu, Seoul on the 3rd.
The orientation, which involved a total of 39 athletes, 18 men's and 21 women's, featured various programs to strengthen basic knowledge and ethical awareness that must be understood as professional athletes, including ▲ anti-doping education ▲ anti-cheating education ▲ anti-cheating (violence, match-fixing, etc.) education ▲ media response education.
In anti-doping education, officials from the Korea Anti-Doping Commission (KADA) attended and emphasized the importance of alertness and responsibility for drug use. In anti-cheating education, education was provided for the ethical consciousness that one should have as a professional player. In addition, through media education, players learned what to keep in mind when using interviews and SNS, enhancing their image management capabilities as professional players.
Lee Woo-jin (Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance), who listened to the lecture with an active attitude, said after completing the training, "It was good that you kindly told me what you need to know as a professional player. I hope there will be a steady educational program like this, and I will live with responsibility as a professional player."
A KOVO official said, `I hope that rookie players will be able to take responsibility and pride as professional players through this orientation,' adding, `The federation will continue to provide various education and support for players to grow in a healthy and fair environment.'" he said.
Meanwhile, the rookie players who have completed this orientation will join each club and begin training to adapt to the professional stage in earnest.
