Massimiliano Montecchiari (Academy Volley Lube Manager): “Our adventure begins with a very enthusiastic and motivated team. I’ve seen a determined group in recent training sessions; the boys have worked well in the gym. The roster includes very young players, promising athletes, and potential stars. The atmosphere is positive, the enthusiasm is remarkable, as is the desire to compete against the best Italian teams. Our motto is inspired by the words of the great Enzo Ferrari: ‘Passion cannot be described, but it must be lived.’ We’ve worked all year, and now it’s time to unleash our love for volleyball by aiming for the best possible result.”
