A summer laboratory, a selection of the best National under 23 will be gathered for a month, to focus on the individual technical capacity and give continuity to the work done during the season in the Serie A.


 


This innovative project from the Italian Volleyball League was presented in a press conference this morning in Trento’s town hall. This “National Team Under 23 of the League” will be composed of 24 players, which will meet and stay together for 3 weeks in Monte Bondone from the 7th of June. At the end of the three weeks, they will move to Salerno. The coach will be the recently crowned Italian Champion, Alberto Giuliani. He will be helped by usual assistant at Cuneo, Francesco Cadeddu and Latina’s coach Giampaolo Medei. Some friendlies will be scheduled, amongst which two games against France B team.


 


 


Alberto Giuliani explained how he will plan out the work and deal with the largest group he’s ever managed in his career: “I’d like to thank the League for giving me this job. This is a project that helps to progress technically at a moment of the year in which the boys don’t have the pressure to get a result. This way they can focus hundred percent on their technique. Hopefully, they will give their all but given what I’ve seen in the last few days, there aren’t much doubt about that. I insist on the fact that the doors will be open to everyone, especially the coaches, some of whom have already called me to take part”.
