After the long August bank holiday weekend, the Itas Trentino men’s team is back in the gym. The Italian Champions’ training camp for the 2025/26 season kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 PM on Tuesday, August 19th. The players not currently playing for their national teams and the entire coaching staff, with the exception of coach Marcelo Mendez (also playing for Argentina), will gather at the BTS Arena in Trento (the new name for PalaTrento) to begin their first training sessions.
Assistant Coach Adriano Di Pinto, who will personally direct the activity during this initial phase, will have only five of the fourteen players from the roster finalized at the end of the Volleyball Transfer Summer: setter Acquarone, spiker Bristot, liberos Laurenzano and Pesaresi, and middle blocker Sandu. This weekend, spiker Ramon, fresh from the European qualifiers with Spain, will also join the group. Everyone else has already been in the gym for several days preparing for the upcoming World Cup: Bartha with Romania, Faure with France, Flavio with Brazil, Gabi Garcia with the USA, Lavia, Michieletto, and Sbertoli with Italy, and Torwie with Germany.
