(HBO) – In recent years, spring days in communes across Hoa Binh province have been more joyful than ever, with cheers from the audience for fiery volleyball spikes.

Volleyball has become an indispensable part of
Quyet Thang villagers on spring days.
Bui Van Diep, a Bo town resident in Kim Boi, said: "I
currently live and work in Hanoi. Every Lunar New Year, when I have many days
off, I often arrange to return to my hometown to celebrate Tet as soon as
possible, partly because of homesickness when working away from home, and
partly because I don't want to miss any volleyball match in the local
tournament on Tet holiday.”
For Hoa Binh residents, volleyball is probably the
"king sport" during the Tet festival, as it has long been loved by
people across the province. Nowadays, together with traditional leather
volleyball, an outdoor version of the sport has become more popular, and
"dominated" almost all playgrounds in residential areas.
Quach Thi Tuyen in Sao ward of Bo town has been practicing
this type of volleyball with other women in the ward for more than one year.
Tuyen said that she feels passionate about this sport, because the ball used is
a bit lighter, which is easy to hit, and suitable for people aged over 50 like
her.
Volleyball is not simply a sport, but has gradually become a
bridge connecting people in the community, especially during Tet holidays./.
Along with promoting the spirit of volunteerism and completing the core tasks of the Youth Communist Union and the youth movement, in recent years, the Youth Communist Union at all levels in the province has regularly organized the movement of physical exercise and sports attracting the participation of a large number of union members and young people. These activities help the union members and the young people raise their awareness of self-training, improving their health, and building a healthy lifestyle and they are also a solution to attract and gather the young people in many localities.
In recent years, modern dance has gradually become popular and emerged as a trend, attracting more and more young people in Hoa Binh to practice and perform. As an art form consisting of many different dancing genres, participating in modern dancing activities, practitioners not only improve their health, physique, flexibility, agility, and confidence, but they also contribute to building a healthy cultural and artistic movement in the community.
