In addition to their love for traditional sports, people in communes and towns in Lac Son district also have a special passion for volleyball - a sport that is easy to play, helping enhance collectivity and bring a lot of joy, motivation, and laughter.
Fans are watching and cheering for
athletes of the Vu Binh and Chi Dao commune teams at the men's and women's volleyball
tournament in Lac Son district in 2024.
Residents in Chau Trong hamlet, Quyet Thang
commune practice volleyball together from 6 - 7am and 5 - 7pm every day.
Bui Van Nien, head of the hamlet, said
volleyball is loved by many people because they can play it and the sport is
suitable for many ages to improve health. It also brings everyone a happy
spirit every day. For that reason, the movement to practice this sport is
vibrant and widespread in all hamlets of the commune.

competitions, the festive atmosphere at the Khoi communal house festival in An

Along with the volleyball practice movement
among the people, many tournaments at grassroots and district levels have been
organised to promote the movement.
