After the double test with the Gioiella Prisma Taranto, the 2022 Preseason path continues for the Bcc Castellana Grotte in view of the next national championship series A2 Credem Banca of men’s volleyball.

The first edition of the Franco Castiglia Trophy is scheduled for Saturday 17 September 2022, with the first round at 5 pm at Pala Grotte, organized by the family in collaboration with New Mater Volley and with the patronage of the Municipality of Castellana Grotte. It will be an opportunity to remember and honor the figure of Franco (former protagonist on the bench of the Bcc Castellana, as a member of the technical staff, of a promotion to the A1 series and the victory of the A2 Italian Cup), coach and sports man who entered in the history of many Apulian volleyball clubs, who suddenly disappeared last May.

There will be a training session between the Bcc Castellana Grotte of coach Jorge Cannestracci and the M2G Green Bari, a group of A3 series group Blue, newly promoted which also has the former Danilo Rinaldi and Paolo Cascio on the roster.

Access to the Pala Grotte for Franco Castiglia Trophy is free.

At the entrance of the Castellanese facility there will be the stand of Fratres Cuore Aperto Odv to promote blood donation and raise awareness among volleyball fans on the importance of a simple but fundamental gesture for the health system and for the health of many sick people.
