Vidas Makauskas, head of TK “Kaunas-VDU,” stated that the addition of I. Sorokaitė to the squad represents a significant enhancement for the team, drawing a parallel to the impact of Jonas Valančiūnas joining Žalgiris. He noted that having a player of Sorokaitė’s caliber provides an exceptional opportunity for the entire organization.
Makauskas emphasized that her experience competing at the highest international level will prove invaluable to the entire team, particularly for the development of younger players. The club is entering the new season following a highly successful period, having secured both the Baltic Women’s Volleyball League title and the Lithuanian championship for the fourth time in its history. Looking ahead, the Kaunas-VDU team is bolstered by having six players who represent the Lithuanian national team.
The acquisition of I. Sorokaitė’s Olympic experience is viewed by the club as a critical factor in elevating the overall standard of the entire Lithuanian volleyball structure. The integration of her high-level international background is expected to raise the performance ceiling for the whole team.
This signing reinforces the depth and expertise within our local volleyball scene, positioning the club strongly for its upcoming domestic and regional campaigns.
